The newly synthesised DNA that will be produced will be most similar to cats DNA.

Explanation:

The process of production of two identical daughter DNA from the parent DNA is called as DNA replication. This process requires functioning of many enzymes.

The double stranded parent DNA is unwinded by enzyme helicase and it act as template strand based on which the DNA polymerase codes new daughter DNA which are identical to the parent DNA. As the template strand used in the experiment belongs to cat, the newly synthesised DNA will be most similar to cats DNA.
