This is the million dollar question, isn't it?

It seems like becoming an artificial OEG does alter numerous functions of the body, but we really don't know how in-depth the changes are. We really wouldn't ever know unless Kaneki or another of the artificial OEGs reproduces with someone. Just in terms of how the reproductive cells work, the males would have a higher chance of reproducing as something other than 100% human in comparison to Kurona. (Since sperm cells are constantly being made, while eggs are a limited supply that you've already got.)

Hmmm.....I think perhaps a quarter ghoul would be weaker than the other two, since it's greatly diluted. From what we're seen in-series, it seems like OEG being stronger is partially a matter of how quickly and easily they seem to be able to build up power. Kaneki went from a weakling to an SS-rated partial Kakuja within a matter of 6 - 8 months. Eto became the strongest known ghoul and a fully-realized Kakuja at the age of 14. Takizawa has become another SS-rated partial Kakuja in 2 years, though a good percentage of that time was probably not spent on becoming more powerful. (But rather, breaking and brainwashing him.)

So in comparison to normal ghouls, they rapidly gain power and are more prone to the mutation that creates a Kakuja.
