Yes, the different arch-types of Xenos are caused by their host (with the exclusion of the Praetorian which comes from a specialized 'Hugger') Hence why the Dog based Alien (The runner) was quadrupedal and moved fast, running like a dog, while drones (based off human DNA) are bipedal and have a little more individual Independence from the hive mind, compared to other arch-types. I am not sure as to whether Praetorians have the same adaptation though since I have yet to see one born from anything other than a human host. looking at the information displayed in a canon context it is very possible that their genetic structure is different from that of any species on earth, actually consisting of a triple helix or even a double helix with an additional RNA strand in the queen (two alien RNA genomes and the 'Hugger' genome for production) with the Huggers consisting of a double helix (or possibly two single RNA strands) one of which coding for their own bodies and the other for the eggs they implant, when they implant these eggs, they probably combine the DNA of host with the Alien strand to create a full alien genome. This would explain the lack of reproduction capabilities in the drones, as well as their host determined features. Also if this is true it could also explain Praetorians being the same from all hosts, since they are believed to become Queens they would need pure alien DNA. The only thing that possibly could disprove this theory is the fact that the Hugger RNA genome would need to be dominant in the Huggers, while being recessive in the Queen and Drones.

anon 4, that is what it is actually called, although the use of the word symbol is well, unessesary, as in chinese, we call it through spelling called "pyin ying" its officially pronounced as ying yang, some reason, americans the lazy assholes they are took off the g in the name
