In the world of infertility there is what we call "The Hamster Test" This is a test of the ability of a man's sperm to penetrate a hamster egg stripped of its outer membrane, the zona pellucida, Also called Hamster Zona-Free Ovum (HZFO) Test or Sperm Penetration Assay (SPA)
However, a human sperm will not fertilize a female rat ova. They are not of the same species nor are they compatiable.
Did that help?

You can if u set the no. of chromosomes as low as possible. and u will get the resultant species with a rat head and hand and a man body and leg.

no because the human sperm has certain chemical receptors on its surface which can be recognized only by human egg

no
at least not without some very sophisticated genetic engineering techniques and probably not even with the technology currently available
species are too different
besides, we already have enough lawyers

You could put them together, hopefully in vitro, but they are too genetically distant to crossbreed, despite the existence of politicians.

Sure but you won't get anything. Different species and all that...
