Placental? How mammalocentric of you.

Merely explaining things that in a way most people here would understand as an admittedly imperfect analogy... placentas (at least human placentas) are (by DNA) not of either the mother nor the child (but rather an amalgam of the two).

EDIT: This assumes, of course, that the face-hugger and exploder are two different organisms... it could be they are part of the same being, with the face-hugger part being sort of a "placental" attachment that is shed from the embryo once it is ready to leave the host... alas, they failed to provide DNA analysis of the different parts (assuming it actually has DNA).

RE-EDIT: How's THAT for geeky??

I think you will find explained in Alien 3 that the exploder/adult picks up characteristics from its host - ie the dog exploder was a very different organism to the human gestated Alien...

That would make categorising it's DNA a very difficult task - talk about rapid evolution!!

If it was real that is!!

i've (alas) blocked most of the Aliens 3 movie, and i discounted most of what was said in there as a bad fever dream.

So, if it is an infection on my side, it is undetected.
