we do not have to speculate on things like science and canon ;)

you want me to give you a source on amarine taking on the looks of his primarch?? how about the "sons of horus" especially the "true sons" with people like "little horus aximand"

many legionaries of that legion looked a lot like their primarch. (sources: horus rising, false gods and galaxy in flames aside form some other stories like the short story "little horus")

to quote aximand article

"Horus "Little Horus" Aximand was the Captain of the 5th Company of the Luna Wolves and later the Sons of Horus Space Marine Legion during the final days of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium. He was a native of the Luna Wolves' homeworld of Cthonia. Aximand was often called "Little Horus" for his remarkable physical resemblance to his Primarch Horus, which was a common physical characteristic of those Space Marines who bore the gene-seed organs of the Warmaster."

and as  to recapitulate earlier remarks:

other legionaries will always stand out as they will have the primarch geneseed in them, a  space wolf will recognize a word bearer or a bloodangel without their armour

-> their gene seed will always have to be controlled and not mixed with other (as it is unclear how geneseed will interact, it is only known that Grey Knights geneseed overrides primarch gegneseed as GK geneseed is closer to the emperor than primarch geneseed, source: "Pandorax")

if primarchs are ied, who knows what happens, maybe autoimmune reactions to the foreign tissue, aka gene seed organs fighting each other and hereby killing the aspirant or organ, as is normal with f.e. transplants.

-> they will know that they do not belong to any of the legions, i mean it is only 18 sets that are known, if they do not closely resemble any-> they are of the 2 eradicated ones, thus breeding contempt/kowledge that  they are different -> inquiry and dissent because who would not want to know where he is coming from but only finding deleted records aside from stories of f.e. the wolves.
