Filament, hook and basal body are the parts of

Options

  1. AFlagella in prokaryotes
  2. BFlagella in eukaryotes
  3. CFimbriae
  4. DFlagella in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes

Correct answer

A. Flagella in prokaryotes

Step-by-step solution

Motility in Bacteria is due to presence of thin extensions called as Flagella. The number and arrangement of flagella varies in different types of bacteria.
