[Aliens] Why does the newborn acknowledge Ripely as its mother?

I never understood the whole Queen/ripely reproductive process. In Alien resurrection, the new born brutally kills the Queen after she gives birth to it. Surprisingly,  it has human characteristics. Why does it acknowledge Ripley as its mum if the Queen gave birth to it?

'Ripley' was cloned from the hybrid DNA created by the retroviral alien infection that would have eventually gestated into a queen alien and hatched out through her sternum. She was an unwanted byproduct.

The intent was not to clone Ripley. The intent was to clone the queen, allowing them unlimited access to that genetic retrovirus. (Queen lays eggs, eggs incubate virus in facehuggers, facehuggers implant virus in host, host gestates alien.) Because their genetic material was hybridized by the virus, they had to make several attempts to get a viable product from the cloning. 'Ripley' was the second to the last attempt. The last attempt was the queen herself. But the progeny of the queen still had some of Ripley's genes, and therefore, her progeny can see and sense Ripley using the same pseudo-telepathy they have evidenced time and time again to stalk and ambush their prey.

This means that, yes, the aliens did not kill her because their sensory apparatus tells them that they are descended from her. The reason the humanoid alien kills the queen alien, is because he lacks the pseudo-sensory apparatus. Instead he has eyes. He can tell what is human and what is alien.

It's the eyes. If it had been born without eyes, it would have been unable to distinguish between Ripley and the Queen Alien also.
