Board Thread:Theories and Speculation/@comment-1512913-20150520114510

Inspired by the Hagoromo TT jinch - TT sealing topic, I think this is another confusing plot detail that wasn't explained well.

It's been stated that White Zetsu are people who fell asleep in Infinite Tsukuyomi and were transformed into that form with God: Nativity of a World of Trees. Alright then: Kaguya/Ten-Tails can turn people into White Zetsu, all good. Black Zetsu said Madara didn't make his, they were stored inside of the Demonic Statue and he just let them out.

But several times it was said that their DNA is almost identical to Hashirama's, also when Orochimaru took over a White Zetsu, Tobirama commented that his new body is made up almost entirely of his brother Hashirama's cells. Well I don't know, I see no resemblance, Hashirama isn't a white plant man. If White Zetsu are almost exactly Hashirama, why do they look and sound nothing alike? And why do they have his DNA in the first place?

Just doesn't make sense to me, even if Madara added Hashirama's cells to the White Zetsu, that wouldn't make their DNA almost identical to Hashirama's, don't they have their own? The only explanation I can think of is that White Zetsu have no DNA whatsoever and that's why Hashirama's is tracked in their cells.
