Incubator sounds like Mary didn't contribute anything to the conception except a womb to house a 'Holy Thing'. Mary's egg was used in the conception.

I wonder if Jesus looked like his mother?

I am 100% certain that a modern DNA test would have shown that Mary and Jesus were related. There is no "divine flesh" here -other then from the Fathers side.

A paternity test would show that Joseph was not the father as well.

I don't know but He was the image of His Father
2 Cor 4:4 "image (Greek eikon) of the invisible God"
Col 1:15 "image (Greek eikon) of the unseen God"
