What is the structure that the cilium and flagellum emerge from?
Options
- Aplasma membrane
- Baxoneme
- Ccentriole-like structure
- Dbasal bodies
Correct answer
C. centriole-like structure
Step-by-step solution
The central tubules are connected by bridges and is also enclosed by a central sheath, which is connected to one of the tubules of each peripheral doublets by a radial spoke. Thus, there are nine radial spokes. The peripheral doublets are also interconnected by linkers. Both the cilium and flagellum emerge from centriole-like structure called the basal bodies.
