Are there any circumstances in which the daughter cells produced should not be genetically identical?

Answer:

At the end of meiosis and cytokinesis, four haploid cells are produced from a single diploid cell. These haploid daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell and are not genetically identical to the parent cell.

Are the daughter cells produced by mitosis genetically unique substantive, cannot divide again substantive, have half the DNA of the parent cell substantive, and are genetically identical to each other?
