Difference Between Collision and Broadcast Domain.

:Query : - Switches Breaks up collision domain on each port ?

Yes, unless perchance the switch has been configured to operate as a hub amongst those ports. [I don't think I've ever encountered a switch that allowed that!]

:My Queries: -

:Condition 2: - : Suppose we have a 12 port switch1 (root switch) and 12 switches :connected on every single port of switch1 with PCs connected on every :single daughter switch. Then can we say that there would be different :collision domain on every port of switch1. Then what about broadcast :domains?

Urrr, your question phrasing is starting to look like homework assignments...

What you need to know about broadcast domains is that:

a) a switch can allow conversations between different collision domains that form part of the same broadcast domain

b) a router can allow conversations between different broadcast domains

c) VLANs in theory are a layer above broadcast domains, but in practice it is uncommon for them to be used at that level: they are usually used instead as a layer above collision domains. [Cisco's feature that allows VLANs to be above broadcast domains is "VRF", Virtual Router Facility.]
