Is it possible that if a plant, say a maple tree, and an animal, say a cat, were spliced together that it would make a thinking tree? Is the biology of both too different that it would make it impossible? As in is it naturally impossible for plant based lifeforms to think?

There are many many mixtures of just animals that could not survive such drastic change, let alone a plant and an animal. The numbers of chromosomes, the very different functions of those chromosomes are just too incompatible to ever think this could occur.

Yes, impossible. Plants do not need nerve system, what would they do with it? Nerve system was developed, because moving and hunting organisms needed quick information from the environment and quick reactions.
You can place the gene of the animal into a plant, but you don't get "animalplant" - only a plant producing animal protein. Systems that form building and development of the body are too complex to play with them so easily.

an significant element of DNA is uncomplicated to all lifeforms, and governs the operation of DNA itself. there is not any elementary reason the genes could no longer be blended. there is likewise a finite type of genes, and the distinction in effect is each so often the situation on the DNA molecule somewhat than the distinction interior the gene itself.

completely impossible
different type of cells and structrures and genetic info
besides plant do not need to think
