False, I’m pretty sure the DNA stays the same, regardless of whether the organism grows up to be male or female.

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

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).
the closest in between would be monotreme xy , they behave more like ZW eventhough they have 10sex chromosomes.
