If I practiced enough or got the right type of training, would I technically be able to sing well like some of our greatest singers? Is there an anatomical difference in their vocals cords that differentiates singers from people who cant sing?

yes anyone can (provided they dont have like a biological alteration that makes them unable to like some sort of mouth injury or what not)

The trick to being a good singer (outside of any sort of singing without instrumentation or music) is making your voice work with the flow of the music. That can be done with ANY type of voice because theres pretty much a huge array of types of music that people will want to listen to.

For example if youre a dude but your voice is feminine and very high pitched, you can still sing if youre singing songs where it requires a masculine voice with more feminine touches, and vice versa.

Same with the lingustic side of things like accents: some people might not be able to sing like adele, but they were raised in the south and have the perfect accent for country music.

Another example is rap: most rappers aren’t even singing, its just their normal voice, BUT its how they use their voice to flow with the rhythm, otherwise known as their “flow” a good rapper needs good flow otherwise they aren’t a good rapper.

Most of it just really is time, practice, and learning how to apply your voice to the music that youre singing it for. So anyone can sing (depending on which singing youre doing) because its about the music behind the singing in combination with the singers ability to match their voice to the music, that makes a person a good singer
