Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

This statement does not make sense because Jupiter, like all the planets, is always found very close to the ecliptic in the sky. The ecliptic passes through the constellations of the zodiac, so Jupiter can appear to be only in one of the 12 zodiac constellationsand Ursa Major is not one of these.
