Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way understand it, new Goa'uld larva come from a queen, who needs the dna of the species she wants her offspring to be 'compatible' with, right?
Now I'm assuming the offspring would have 50% of the queen's dna and 50% 'alien' dna. If that's the case, how does genetic memory even work? Wouldn't you need a whole lot of queens to create a population of goa'uld that is only 50% pure? And that's assuming the queen was 100% pure qoa'uld to begin with. And I thought only Harsesis were 100%, and they are hunted down and killed. And how does a queen inside a host reproduce anyway? Could that be why Egeria started the Tok'ra movement? Because she wasn't a pure goa'uld?
If you take all that into account (although I'm pretty sure I made a mistake somewhere) the goa'uld should've been extinct long ago, due to genetic impurity.
