No, possessive pronouns DO NOT use apostrophes.
There are two types of possessive pronouns:
All possessive NOUNS use apostrophes. For example:
Its and yours are the possessive pronouns for it and you. Note that possessive pronouns do not use apostrophes.
The only possessive pronoun that uses an apostrophe is one's, as in "A room of one's own." All other possessive pronouns -- his, hers, yours, ours, theirs, its, my, mine and whose -- do not have apostrophes. It's is the contraction of "it is." Who's is the contraction of "who is."
You can use apostrophes to indicate possession for most nouns. For possessive pronouns, however, an apostrophe is not required.Example:James's socksJill's fistHis socksHer fist
Never. Possessive pronouns are the exception to the use apostrophes to show possession rule.Possessive pronouns take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.The possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.Examples: The blue car is his. The red car is theirs. The white car with the ticket on the windshield is mine.
In possessive nouns and contractions.
Its and yours are the possessive pronouns for it and you. Note that possessive pronouns do not use apostrophes.
That is incorrect. Pronouns do not use apostrophes to indicate possession; instead, they have their own possessive forms. For example, "his," "hers," "theirs," "yours," and "its" are possessive pronouns. Apostrophes are used for possessive nouns like "Mary's book" or "the dog's leash."
Possessive nouns (but not possessive pronouns) use apostrophes; therefore, "brother's" is possessive. "Brothers" is plural.

No, a possessive pronoun and a possessive adjective is distinguished by using no apostrophe. This is especially important because it distinguishes the possessive pronoun its from the contraction it's (it is).Example: The dog ate its food. Now it'sresting in the shade. (Now it is resting...)There are two types of pronouns that show possession:The possessive pronounstake the place of a noun for something that belongs to someone or something.The possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.Example: The house on the corner is mine.The possessive adjectives: describe a noun as belonging to someone or something.
