Answer:

THE STATEMENT IS TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pheromones are chemical signals that trigger specific social response in members of the same species. The actions of pheromones is similar to that of hormones, the major difference is that pheromones are secreted outside the body. Animals such as mammals, reptiles and amphibians can easily detected pheromones by means of their vomeronasal organs (organs of chemoreception that is part of their olfactory systems).
