Unless our Living Corpse Reincarnation article needs a complete rewrite, it also explicitly states that Orochimaru modifies the body after taking it over.

Yes, but to which extent? Does he change the DNA into a male's. If so, why doesn't he change the host's face to his own, instead of putting on a mask?

I mean, of course we can't expect the manga to tell us which genitaly Orochimaru currently has. So we can only go by other statements, such as the whole Mitsuki situation, Orochimaru's looks etc.

But yeah, anyway, it's "various" now for reasons provided in this thread.
