How are the centrioles in a centrosome arranged?
Options
- AParallel to each other
- BRandomly dispersed
- CIn a spiral formation
- DPerpendicular to each other
Correct answer
D. Perpendicular to each other
Step-by-step solution
Centrosome is an organelle usually containing two cylindrical structures called centrioles. They are surrounded by amorphous pericentriolar materials . Both the centrioles in a centrosome lie perpendicular to each other in which each has an organisation like the cartwheel. They are made up of nine evenly spaced peripheral fibrils of tubulin protein. Each of the peripheral fibril is a triplet.The adjacent triplets are also linked. The central part of the proximal region of the centriole is also proteinaceous and cal
