Question

The arrangement of microtubules in centriole is

• A. 9+2
• B. 2+9
• C. 11+0
• D. 9+3

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

9+2

In cell biology, a centriole is a cylindrical cell structure composed mainly of a protein called tubulin that is found in most eukaryotic cells. It is made from nine triplets of microtubules formed into a cylinder. The pattern of the microtubules for a ring of 9 microtubules known as "triplets" and the microtubules are attached to other two partial microtubules. Thus the correct answer is option A.
