Yes and No. Although the egg starts out as being 100% donor, the finished product is a combination of bio-mom and donor (and dad, of course). That's thanks to the embryonic fluid that the baby lives in for nine months. Micro RNA’s or molecules that double as a communication system between the mother and the baby actually have the ability to moderate the presentation of the babies genes.
No. Whoever the egg was implanted to provide it all the nutrients, blood, and their own body to produce the baby. Literally the only thing they didn't produce was the microscopic egg.
