Well, what if this division takes place in an environment where there's one kind of extra cellular matrix here and another kind of extracellular matrix here?

那如果在细胞分裂的过程中,两个子细胞的细胞外基质不同,会对它们产生什么影响

The size of the cells could be different; maybe mitosis is asymmetrical in some way so that one of the cells ends up being bigger than the other.

细胞大小可能会不同,也许有丝分裂的过程是不对称的,致使子细胞一个大一个小

There could be differences in the physics of cell division, this process of separating into two cells such that even though they both have the same chromosomes, they both have the same DNA content, maybe one of the cells entraps something that's different than the other cells.

细胞分裂的过程中的确可能会产生差异,在分裂为两个细胞的过程中,尽管两个子细胞含有相同的染色体,含有相同的DNA组成,但也许其中一个细胞,截留了和其他细胞不同的物质
