You tend to end up with irregular galaxies
yes they can and if that happens the galaxy will be destroyes :)
When galaxies "collide", the individual stars do not actually smash together; they're far enough apart that they mostly slip past each other.
spiral,elliptical,irregular galaxies
Spiral galaxies and spiral means other body parts that stick out and move.
Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.

spiral, barred spiral, elliptical, irregular, and peculiar
The three different types of galaxies are the Spiral galaxy, the Elliptical galaxy, and the Irregular galaxy. Spiral galaxies are obviously in the shape of a spiral, elliptical galaxies are shaped as an ellipse, or a flat circle, and irregular galaxies can be any shape.
Galaxies are primarily classified into three main categories: spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, feature a flat, rotating disk with spiral arms and a central bulge. Elliptical galaxies are more rounded and lack the distinct structure of spirals, often appearing as smooth, featureless ellipsoids. Irregular galaxies do not fit into the other two categories and have an irregular shape, often resulting from gravitational interactions or collisions with other galaxies.

We believe that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy. Follow the link to see Hubble photos of other barred spiral galaxies.
A spiral galaxy looks like a flat, rotating disk with spiral arms extending outwards from a central bulge. Its structure differs from other types of galaxies, like elliptical or irregular galaxies, because it has a defined disk shape with spiral arms, while other galaxies may have more irregular or rounded shapes.
