Is it possible to fertilise a different mammal's sperm with female human egg or vice versa, and possibly grow the zygote(if successful fertilization takes place) in human womb or the other species female womb. If this sounds too revolutionary, are these kinds of experiments done to 2 diff species which are very close and derived from a common ancestor.Are these kinds of experiments done anywhere, are they legal?. In nature we see mule is a cross breed of horse and donkey. I am curious to know what happens if we combine diff species at genetic level.

No. When a sperm and egg are comibined, their genetic material has to match in order for it to become viable. It has to match in number, shape, and size or chromosomes.
The inability to reproduce is one of the ways we differenciate species. Horses and donkeys are still very closely related species, which is why they can still mate. A mule not a perfect reproduction though, because it is sterile.

this would be an consumer-friendly one. If the international gets too warm, we've shown that we are in a position to stay to tell the tale it because of the fact the "Cradles of Civilization" have been in warm, dry factors. If the international gets chilly, then we've already shown that we are in a position to stand up to ice a while, and that's with none "intense" technologies. If the international gets overpopulated, it is going to, out of necessity, stability itself out. i don't think of we would desire to be bothered approximately surviving the subsequent one hundred years. the genuine question is a thank you to we shop the subsequent one hundred years from becoming to be the subsequent darkish Age.

The answer is no. It's likely that the foreign DNA will express itself to the point that the host body will reject and attack the foreign material to cause a miscarriage.

Nope, humans have evolved a very strong species barrier.
