  1. no,cuz the baby might have rabies and what would the baby look like??

    in other words it may be a miracle if they would have a baby together..


  2. ,no iT's really impossible, cauSe no human will intercoures with a dog, ahaha, and it's so impossible...

  3. it's not possible. this is because humans and dogs have different numbers of chromosomes, cell division wouldn't occur, and cell division is required for a baby to be made.

  4. don't fear

  5. it is not possible becase a human has 46 chomosomes (which hold your dna) and a dog has 39 chomosomes, this is such a big difference, that during conception, the chromosomes do not match up.

    however, it is possible at the same time.  a human can give birth to a dog clone. if you take a womans egg, and remover her chromosomes that are in the egg, and fill them with the chromosomes from a dogs skin/ hair cell, and then put the egg back in the woman, she can essentially give birth to a dog!

  6. i strongly doubt it.

    why do you ask? are you trying to have one?

    You should only try with a large dog.

  7. Impossible.

    There are a lot of reasons, but I'll just highlight a few.

    When a sperm cell and an egg cell combine, the chromosomes pair off. The dogs have 39 chromosome pairs; humans only have 23. And, on top of that, there are a lot of very different things about the chromosomes, so they wouldn't be able to combine, as dogs have a lot of things humans don't, and humans have a lot of things dogs don't (for example, dogs have a tail, humans have a coccyx, dogs go through estrous cycles, humans have menstrual periods, dogs' digestive systems are based on a carnivore's diet, humans' systems are omnivorous, etc, etc, etc.)

    But, to make it even simpler, your DNA tells you what you ARE. They are blueprints, and the proteins in your body make you what your DNA says you are. Your DNA is what distinguishes you from a dog. If the DNA were to mix in an egg cell (which is very unlikely if not impossible, as the sperm would probably be unable to penetrate), the resulting egg cell would die very quickly, because the chromosomes wouldn't pair off (like I said earlier) for cell division to happen.

  8. Yeah, just look at Flavor Flav.

  9. From a biological point of view, mating between two different species is impossible. It's what defines the term "species".

    "A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring" - Wikipedia

    Several mechanisms exist to prevent such unions from occurring. I don't remember too much since I took AP biology quite a while ago but I do recall there being certain barriers that prevent reproduction from occurring between different species.

    Mechanical Isolation makes it physically impossible for certain species to mate. For example, a whale and a cat cannot mate because the whale is physically too big haha.

    Gametic Isolation also makes it impossible for cross-species reproduction because the gametes (as in sperm and eggs) have certain protein markers on their coats that identify their species.

    So if a dog and a human were to mate (gross >_<), the immune system of the human (or dog) would attack the sperm of the other species due to the sperm being recognized as foreign objects.


  10. No, it's genetically impossible.

    But that would be kind of interesting.
