apes and human belong to same genus, so can women be pregant by sex with apes although fetus may be aborted, just tell me is it scientifically possible

The idea that a different chromosome count is of any importance at all is completely without merit. Domestic horses and Przwalski horses have different chromosome counts and are 100% interfertile. Cattle and bison have different chromosome counts and are largely interfertile.
Chromosome count makes no difference whatsoever.
It would be quite astounding if human and chimps were completely infertile. Our species only diverged around 5 million years ago. No other species that diverged so recently are infertile.
The smart money says that we should be not only interfertile, but completely interfertile, meaning that the offspring should also be fertile.
But of course nobody has tried, or at least nobody is telling, so we can't know.

Apes all have 24 pairs of chromosomes. Human has 23 pairs. So the answer is no.

Sorry, it will only happen in the movies.
Now some of your relatives or some of our Senators may look and act like apes, but they are not and their parents did not conceive with the apes.

there have been mentioned by Erich Von Daniken in his famous book "chariots of gods" or may be in another one of his publishes, that there has been found the curpse of a pregnant nun with a strange ape-shape germ in her body.he guess the nun have had sex with an ape because of being forbidden to have sex with a human.but notice that no one knows the germ to have the chance of born or not, at least the semen has been formed.

It would be possible for a man and animal to have sex - It would not be possible for anyone to become pregant as a result of it.

No.
Different species have different kind of receptors on the eggs surface and different ligand that binds to it. There are also different gamete recognition protein that controls species-specific sperm-egg adhesion and membrane fusion. Even closely related species have different sperm-egg binding.

The closest thing to an ape you can get pregnant from is a black person
