The zygote divides and differentiates to produce different types of cells. This is how separate tissues, organs, and even specific cells form. In the case of hybrid dysgenesis, the P-elements start ‘jumping’ around in the genome but it doesn’t always cut and paste perfectly leading to mutations. This ‘jumping’ by the p-elements is the problem and leads to the dysfunctional offspring. There is no differentiation in the actual genome, differentiation is a term to describe a cell changing in a pre-determined way to form a new type of cell.
So differentiation is a pre-determined change in a cell, instead you could say:
Does any change/mutation in the genome happen after the zygote divides
