Cerebral dominance is also related to handedness--whether a person has a strong preference for the use of their right or left hand.

No, there is not a correlation.
Handedness is caused by the dominance of one cerebral hemisphere over the other. Dominant right hemispheres cause left handedness (each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body to the side it is on, since the nerves cross over). The exact reason why one hemisphere is dominant rather than the other, remains unknown. Quite possibly it is just an accident of fetal development.
TRUE

Yes.
Yes, cerebral dominance typically designates the hemisphere that is dominant for language. In most right-handed individuals, language dominance is in the left hemisphere, while in some left-handed individuals, it can be in either hemisphere or shared between them.

i dont know
Cross-dominance, also known as mixed-handedness, is not rare and occurs in about 10% of the population. It means that a person prefers to use different hands for different tasks, such as writing with one hand but throwing a ball with the other.
