How are port numbers used in the TCP/IP encapsulation process?

Source port numbers and destination port numbers are not necessary when UDP is the transport layer protocol being used for the communication.
Source port and destination port numbers are randomly generated.
If multiple conversations occur that are using the same service, the source port number is used to track the separate conversations.
Destination port numbers are assigned automatically and cannot be changed.

In what two situations would UDP be better than TCP as the preferred transport protocol? (Choose two.)

when applications need to guarantee that a packet arrives intact, in sequence, and unduplicated
when a faster delivery mechanism is needed
when delivery overhead is not an issue
when applications do not need to guarantee delivery of the data
when destination port numbers are dynamic

What are three responsibilities of the transport layer? (Choose three.)

meeting the reliability requirements of applications, if any
multiplexing multiple communication streams from many users or applications on the same network
identifying the applications and services on the client and server that should handle transmitted data
directing packets towards the destination network
formatting data into a compatible form for receipt by the destination devices
conducting error detection of the contents in frames
