Nope. BSD.
Nope, Darwin (OSX) is a combination of a Mach kernel variant developed by NeXT with major elements borrowed from FreeBSD, which is an open source re-implementation of the Berkly Software Distribution, a major Unix variant from the eighties.
To over-simplify, a 'kernel' is the central part of an OS that handles some of the hardware and low level processes. A kernel may or may not contain the device drivers (OSX does). A lot of the confusion stems from the fact that operating systems like OSX, Linux and FreeBSD are "Unix-like" operating systems as they all retain many UNIX elements that are largely the same. Similarly to how FreeBSD was created, Linux was partly re-engineered from and inspired greatly by MiNIX (mini-UNIX), though Linux deviates quite a bit from MiNIX in key areas.
No your Mac OS10 operating system is not built on Linux its built on UNIX
No, your Macs are running on UNIX™, of which Linux is a clean room knock off.
