Answer 1

18) false.. Gorillas are not faunivores as faunivores are those organism which eats other organism.. But, gorilla feeds on plants, leaves etc hence not omnivores..

32) true.. It has been proven that chimps have more Intlgnt have more IQ levels than apes..

27) true.. Sometimes the presence of bacterial and certain infections can helpful as It gives certain special method of identification for certain diseases...

19) true..

Answer 2

1) Evolution is a theory yet to be verified -> False, all scientific evidence support the evolution occured in the past and still occuring

 2) Although evolution is about individual fitness, it is the gene pool or availability of genes that is responsible for biological evolution. --> TRUE, evolutionary forces can only act on existing alleles

3) Consanguineous mating is mating between blood relatives. -> TRUE

4) Aerobic Heterotrophy led to the ability of animals to live on land --> False, aerobic organisms evolved long before the first animal moved on land

 5) Coral colonies emerged during the pre-Cambrian and created new niches for species to exploit --> False

 6) Parallel evolution refers to the development of similar traits in two species separated geographically that share a common ancestor that did provide initial commonalties. --> TRUE

7) The diet of an animal cannot be readily determined by its teeth --> False

 8) Classification appears to be innate (and common to all animals) and allows us to create order and expectation in our world  --> False

9) Natural skin color is a product of the amount of melanin produced by melanocytes in the epidermal layer of the skin --> true, more melanin produce the darker the skin will be
