How might two colliding spiral galaxies tend to create an elliptical galaxy?

Question

The heat created by collisions between stars causes the disks to puff out into a spherical shape

Answer

The gas in the disks of the galaxies is expelled into intergalactic space by gravitational interactions

Answer

The orbits of the stars get randomised during the collision, while their gas disks collide and form stars
