The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, we will break down each statement and determine their validity step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement I:** - The statement claims that human beings are scientifically named as "Homo domesticus." - The correct scientific name for humans is "Homo sapiens," where "Homo" is the genus and "sapiens" is the species. - Since "Homo domesticus" is incorrect, this statement is **false**. 2. **Understanding Statement II:** - The statement claims that all cats belong to the genus "Felis" and have certain characteristics (thick fur, pointed teeth, and sharp claws) but cannot interbreed. - It is true that domestic cats, tigers, lions, and other similar animals belong to the genus "Felis." - However, the statement about them not being able to interbreed is misleading. While different species within the genus may have difficulty interbreeding, some species can interbreed (e.g., domestic cats and wildcats). - Therefore, while the characteristics mentioned are generally true for cats, the interbreeding aspect is not entirely accurate, making this statement **partially true**. 3. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis: - Statement I is **false**. - Statement II is **partially true** but can be considered **correct** in the context of the characteristics described. - Thus, the overall conclusion is that Statement I is incorrect, and Statement II is correct. ### Final Answer: - Statement I is false. - Statement II is true.
