Ok in genetics class we were asked if a human female could get pregnant by a dog. Please dont think I am weird but I need this answered. And even if its not possible to get pregnant...Could it be possible for a dogs sperm to atleast fertilize a human females egg? I just need someone to answer this question even if its a yes or no answer! I see so many people reads this post but nobody seems to answer!

The answer to this question is no. The chief reason that this doesn’t work is that humans and dogs aren’t very closely related, evolutionarily speaking, and their genes wouldn’t really know what to do once they got together. So if, for example, you were to attempt to combine dna by trying to fertilize human eggs with dog sperm, or vice versa, embryonic development wouldn’t proceed very far, if at all.

.. Not possible..

But you know.. Having sex with dogs isnt really all that clean.

But on a pondering note.. Wouldnt it be funny to see what a human x dog hybred would look like!
