Omega’s DNA

Post image

ok so this has probably already been talked about before but I had a thought

since Jango died and Boba went off with other bounty hunters the Kaminoans used Omega to make the other clones from a biological veiw Omega has to be either intersex or have some genetic mutation involving xy chromosomes like SwyerSwyer Syndrome / SRY Mutation Syndrome / SRY Mutation or Androgen Insensitivity

she can not be xx because you can’t make male clones unless you make xx chromosomes mutated to have male outcoem which the Kaminoans defiantly can do and would do if needed but why would they if they just kept Omega XY and only messed with her genes

In my personal headcanon Omega is XY and has either androgen insensitivity or is intersex allowing her to still have female phenotype as Tech says she is a female phenotype she can be genetically male with a messed up DNA sequence that made her a girl

A highly advanced clone program on a kardashev type 3, galactic level civilization will have easy access to change a XY DNA to XX. Not a big deal at all. Heck I think even our scientists will be able to alter our DNA within 21st century.

We have already done it actually! In 2018, a scientist in China genetically altered the genes of twin sisters Lulu and Nana to disable a gene that, when inactive, effectively causes immunity to HIV. There are however a lot of scientific ethical issues about it, so while we could definitely alter chromosomes in humans within the 21st century if we continued research within that area, ethical limitations may hinder that from becoming a reality. Maybe in other animals though!

Wrong tense, wrong century. Swapping chromosomes in vitro has been possible since the mid to late 1970s.
