    *Except for the Y chromosome. You’d have to somehow insert these genes and get them to be expressed

    Seems they mostly have to do with development of testicles

      If you’re rewriting DNA to make people into dinosaurs, then changing a Y chromosome to an X chromosome and making the changes express themselves seems downright simple by comparison.

        also dinosaurs/reptiles generally dont use the XY system like mammals do. they have a ZW system to determine sex, and for some its temperature based. ZZ for male birds, and ZW for female birds(ZW means 2 different chromosones, and ZZ is too similar ones). birds, reptile, seems more complicated than the mammal system. the closest in between would be monotreme xy , they behave more like ZW eventhough they have 10sex chromosomes.
