Preferably cells that become reproductive organs.

I don't mean that. I wonder if only embryonic cells can fuse to form a chimera. I've heard that in humans blood cells from the mother can end up in a human embryo and form a chimera.

If that is also possible in inter-order chimeras, we can just put a dino-nucleus in any viable bird cell and put it into the bird embryo to form a chimera.

Has anybody replaced the nucleus in a cell before?

What do you mean with this? If you mean it literaly, yes it is called somatic cell transfer. It is the way Dolly the Sheep was created.
