False. Asexual reproduction happens through mitosis only and produces offspring genetically identical to the parents.
In water molecule the electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen are shared, but the sharing is not equal. Oxygen pulls electrons slightly towards itself. Therefore, the electrons are more near the oxygen, making that part of molecule(oxygen part) slightly negative. Since the electrons are not near the hydrogen so, that part of the molecule is slightly positive.
Inability of dense irregular connective tissue to form properly will affect the formation of organs and the skin.
<h3>What is connective tissue?</h3>
Connective tissue is the tissue that provides supports, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body.
Connective tissue is made up of cells, elastic fibers, and collagen.
The dense irregular connective tissues are distributed throughout the body are important in the formation of the skin, the eyes and walls of organs.

<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
