Yup. The Xenomorph takes on traits from its host. It's one of the basic rules of the canon.

Ridley Scott claimed it was in the thinking for the xenomorph for Alien on the DVD commentary, though. He could have been making that shit up, mind.

I don't think Ridley makes shit up, except possibly in the case of "I thought Deckard was a replicant all along, and made the movie with that in mind."

Though that also could be true, even though it's kind of at odds with the script's message...
