The reason why the genetic signature is different is because we reproduce bisexually. There are species where the offspring are clones of the parents. There is no reason why we couldn’t change to reproduce that way. There have been some interesting experiments done in South Korea where they took the egg cells and implanted the nucleus of cells near the egg producing region of the body (sorry can’t recall the specifics). They successfully created a reproducing egg cell that went through all the stages producing human stem cells. They could have implanted it and they would have produced a human clone. And the genetic signature would not be different.
But all the same there is no magic as to why we produce bisexually. It is an adaptation to parasites and infectious diseases. They must adapt to their targets and if the targets change their genetic signatures from one generation to the next creates a moving target. Moving targets are harder to hit.
All human cells have a unique signature. It is called cellular specialization. A neuron is not the same as a liver cell. And a fertilized egg cell is different as well. But just as a single liver cell or nerve cell is not a human, a fertilized egg cell is also not human. It is a specialized cell that works in concert with a womb that creates a human. Not until there are billions of specialized cells working in concert in a way that creates a working healthy human being will it be human.
You have to learn to count.

Tell me starboy...if you have not always been a human being, what species did you belong to before you became human...

You accuse me of not knowing anything about biology and you ask this dumbass question? I was born a human, what is your excuse? Were you originally a toad and an angel zapped you with their magic finger and made you a human? Or were you not even as animated as a toad? Were you just a lump of clay?
