Options
- AConnects outer microtubule doublets to the central pair
- BConnects outer doublets to each other
- CProvides structural support
- DFacilitates the transport of materials Connects outer microtubule doublets to the central pair
Correct answer
A. Connects outer microtubule doublets to the central pair
Step-by-step solution
The central tubules are connected by bridges and are also enclosed by a central sheath, which is connected to one of the tubules of each peripheral doublets by a radial spoke.
