Yes.
While there are many different types of instrument chords meant for different instruments and even styles, all can be used to connect any instrument to any amplifier. The only exception is that a speaker cable (connecting an amp to a cabinet/speaker), will NEVER work to connect an instrument to an amplifier. Note that, in emergency situations, you can use any instrument cable as a substitute for a speaker cable. This substitution is mildly risky for your speaker, so try to avoid it.
Also, NEVER use a Bass Guitar with a guitar amplifier. It can't handle the low frequencies of a bass guitar. You can use a guitar with a bass amplifier safely, but the tone will not be as good.

How do you make a bass amp sound like an electric guitar amp?
If you are using a guitar amp as a pre-amp to a bass amp (plugging your guitar into a guitar amp, and then patching the guitar amp to the bass amp), do not do this. Bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals (mics) are low impedence, where guitars are high impedence. You can very easily damage your equipment doing this sort of thing. If you are trying to get guitar sounds out of a bass amp, in my opinion, it's next to impossible. There is only one type of bass amp that I know of that you can accomplish this with...Ampeg has a series of bass amps with "switchable tweeters", meaning that they come equipped with tweeters, but you can turn them in order to use rig as a bass amp, and turn them on in order to play an acoustic guitar thru the bass amp. Since an acoustic guitar is low impedence, this works fairly well. You can also plug in an electric to this setup, even tho an electric guitar is high impedence...It's possible to plug in a high impedence instrument into a low impedence amp, but it's not advisable to plug in a low impedence instrument into a high impedence amp.

Your speakers will blow out. A guitar amp is not meant to handle the low register of a bass. Even on a practice amp.
Can you play an electric bass through a guitar amp?
They can plug in and work, but most guitar amps aren't built to give a solid bass output, so sound will be fuzzy/ weak. Best bet is to just get a small bass amp. A 15w Fender Rumble amp is about $150 and sounds great for home practice.
