Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
The bacterial flagella are similar to eukaryotic flagella in having 9 + 2 structure.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Bacterial flagella are structurally different from eukaryotic flagella as eukaryotic flagella is having a 9+2 arrangement of fibrils - two in the center and 9 in the peripheral region but, bacterial flagella is unistranded and is composed of protein molecule flagellin arranged in the helical pattern.

So, the correct option is 'False'.
