Select the incorrect statement about the given organelle
Options
- AThe prokaryotic bacteria also possess flagella and are structurally same as the eukaryotic flagella
- BThe axoneme usually has nine doublets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules
- CThe peripheral doublets are also interconnected by linkers.
- DBoth the cilium and flagellum emerge from centriole-like structures called the basal bodies.
Correct answer
A. The prokaryotic bacteria also possess flagella and are structurally same as the eukaryotic flagella
Step-by-step solution
The prokaryotic bacteria also possess flagella but these are structurally different from that of the eukaryotic flagella. The axoneme usually has nine doublets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules, and a pair of centrally located microtubules. The peripheral doublets are also interconnected by linkers. Both the cilium and flagellum emerge from centriole-like structures called the basal bodies.
