I need to make an application which have quite different design and some extra functionality for android phone and tablet. Can i make separate .apk for phone and tablet and upload them as one or I need to make one .apk which has separate layouts and permission checks?

you need to make one .apk
,because having two different .apk just differing on the basis of their compatible devices
will be kind of weird.You need to create your layouts according to the devices you want to run your app on,either for tablets or smartphones of different sizes.See this one Do I need 14 different layouts to support all Android devices?

Yes, this should be possible. Please have a look at the respective article in the Android Developer Guide: http://developer.android.com/google/play/publishing/multiple-apks.html
However, Google encourages to develop and deploy only one APK for all devices for several reasons: http://developer.android.com/google/play/publishing/multiple-apks.html#SingleAPK
