Axoneme having 9 + 2 doublet microtubule arrangement is found in
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Cilia and flagella
All eukaryotic cilia and flagella are similar in their organisation.
The core of cilia and flagella is known as axoneme.
The axoneme consists of nine pairs of doublets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules.
A pair of microtubules is located centrally.
Such arrangement of microtubules in the axoneme is referred to as 9 + 2 array.
The central microtubules are connected to each other by a bridge, and they are enclosed by a central sheath.
The central sheath is connected to one of the peripheral tubules from each doublet by nine spokes.
