    No, apes, gorillas, and chimps have 48 chromosomes and humans have 46.

    I doubt apes and gorillas would approve.

    No, our DNA differs just enough that it will not work.

    No it is not, although our DNA is only about 1% different.

    yes, with gorillas, it is possible to mate with them. We have the same ammount of chromosomes, and gene structure within our DNA.

    well i think if we really have the same ammount of chromosomes, and gene structure within our DNA then we should be able to sucessfully.
    if we really are related to them then shouldnt we? i mean why not?

    Natedogg, the man didn't say he wanted to mate with them. He asked is it possible that offspring could be the result of such a mating.

    Not at all. Their chromosomes don't line up and are not the same. They re not that closely related, none of the apes or monkeys or shrews are.
