Explanation / Answer

1) True

It is true that majority believe in the theory of evolution but the theory is still to be proved or verified.

2) True

Biological evolution is the process through which the characteristics of organisms change over successive generations.It is most commonly defined as change in gene frequencies in populations.So yes it is the gene pool that is responsible for biological evolution.

3) True

Consanguineous mating is defined as mating between two people who are related as second cousins or closer, so yes it is a mating between blood relatives.

4) True

Aerobic heterotrophy relates to inability of organism which can not make their own food and rather depend on other plants and animals for food, and because of that we can say animals started wandering on land in search for food.
