Answer:

True.

False. (Also for work, food, protection, transportation, & companionship.)

True. (Caribou also)

False. (Dogs are the most domesticated animal.)

False. (People have brought wild animals into their homes and kept them as pets.)

False. (Tamed wild animals may have even been born in captivity and never been in the wild. This does not make them domestic. They are still wild, showing the same characteristics as those in the wild. They are able to rejoin the wild, mate, and not change the species' overall characteristics.

False. (Genetic engineering is now being used. GMO food is an example, like seedless watermelon.)

Selective breeding in the process of choosing the best characteristics of organisms through many generations to improve the variety or breed of the organsism:
TRUE, SELECTIVE BREEDING IS AN ARTIFICIAL PROCESS THAT BREEDERS CAN APPLY TO PLANTS AND ANIMALS TO ENHANCE PARTICULAR TRAITS, SUCH AS SIZE.

Humankind has domesticated animals over thousands of years for the sole purpose of companionship.
FALSE. WHILST DOGS AND CATS HAVE BEEN BRED PARTLY FOR COMPANIONSHIP, DOMESTICATION OF ANIMALS HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL FOR SURVIVAL THROUGH ENHANCING FOOD PRODUCTION AND TRANSPORT. KEY EXAMPLES INCLUDE COWS AND HORSES.

The remains of wild dogs were found among the prehistoric bones of our ancestors who lived thousands of years ago.
TRUE. DOGS WERE DOMESTICATED OVER 4000 YEARS AGO ORIGINALLY FROM WOLVES.

Cats are the most domesticated animals in the world.true or false
TRUE. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO SMALL HOUSE CATS AND NOT THE WIDER CAT FAMILY

Animals like leopards,wolves,tigers,bears, and skunks could never be tamed enough to live with people.
FALSE. THIS QUESTION IS CONTROVERSIAL HOWEVER GIVEN ENOUGH GENERATIONS IT IS LIKELY THAT ANY ANIMAL CAN BE DOMESTICATED. MODERN DOGS ARE DERIVED FROM WILD WOLVES.

Tamed wild animals that have even been born in captivity and never been in the wild,are considered domestic. True or false
FALSE. DOMESTICATION COMES THROUGH MULTIPLE GENERATIONS

Selective breeding is the only method to change life forms characteristics. True or false
FALSE. SELECTIVE BREEDING IS AN ARTIFICIAL FORM OF EVOLUTION. EVOLUTION THROUGH NATURAL SELECTION IS OCCURRING CONSTANTLY IN NATURE AND IS THE PRIMARY MECHANISM DRIVING CHANGES TO LIFE FORMS/CHARACTERISTICS.
