The statement that the integument is strictly composed of the skin and It does not include the various accessory structures that may be present on or beneath the skin layers is False.
<h3>Composition of integument</h3>
- Together with the underlying epidermal cells that secrete the cuticle, the cuticle and integument make up the skin.
- The cuticle functions as the insect's exoskeleton, the location of muscle attachment, and the first line of protection against fungi, bacteria, predators, parasites, and environmental toxins, including pesticides.
- The integument plays a role in behavior, osmoregulation, water control, eating, excretion, desiccation resistance, and as a food reserve.
- The complexity of the structure and chemistry of an insect's integument as well as the unique ways in which it has been modified to work within its owner's environment serve as some indicators of the variety of roles that these coverings play.

Recombination is the method by which organisms can randomly assort their genotypes amongst each other to create offspring with a different haplotype than either of its parents. This can be done by either copying sequences from one homologous chromosome to another (no physical exchange) or crossing over (physical exchange.
Crossing over is a mechanism in eukaryotes by which recombination can occur, in which the two homologous chromosomes contributed by both parents literally cross over and break at certain points to exchange certain sections of the chromosomes amongst each together.
Self fertilizing organisms typically do not produce offspring that are genetically identical. However, this has an inbreeding effect on its offspring, since it is recombining from the same genotype and so has a higher chance of producing homozygous offspring. This is very detrimental for mammals and some eukaryotes, but in some other organisms such as bacteria, homozygosity is typically not an issue.
Answer:
All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing.
