The answer is yes, the drain system you need is called a continuous waste. This goes between the two sinks with the aid of two flange tailpieces,which attach to the basket strainers.The continuous waste comes in two styles, an end outlet which is used if the drain pipe is not close to the center line of the two sinks, and a center outlet if the drain line is near the center line of the sinks, the trap is attached between the continuous waste and the kitchen drain, an S trap if the drain goes through the floor, a P trap if the kitchen drains through the wall, I hope this is helpful, I believe I mentioned all the parts you will use with maybe the exception of an offset. Best of luck.

Double sinks usually have a T underneath that connects both sides to one drain pipe.

yes you can, however they are more apt to leak than a single one.
at present I have doubles in all my units and they are nothing but trouble. every time the drains get bumped by gear under the sink like a garbage can etc, they jar the drains and it begins to leak at the joint.
I've gone to the single drain and its more stable and I have less replacement of floors in & under sinks over the same period of time.
the flip side of the coin is that if its your own home instead of a rental, you may tend to watch it closer.
so whats the lesser of two evils, please your wife with a fancy two compartment sink and a wet floor (maybe) or a strong single drain and one hole deep sink for pans etc.
lotza luck

You have no choice in this matter. It is not that complicated. Both drains will have to be connected with a "Y" fitting, then that would lead to your trap. As well to ensure that you have sufficient draining, the final test would be to fill both up and let them drain at the same time. This will tell you 2 things. 1. There is no blockage in either drain. 2. Your new fitting can withstand the pressure of several gallons of water being drained at one time.

Look under the kitchen sink and you'll see all you need to know. It's the same thing.

Yes, no problem. Just make sure there is a trap on the main drain.
