Options
- AMitochondria—Semiautonomous organelle
- BStroma—Site of dark reaction
- CCentrioles—(9 + 2) array of microtubules
- DAxoneme —Core of eukaryotic flagella
Correct answer
C. Centrioles—(9 + 2) array of microtubules
Step-by-step solution
Structure of a centriole. (i) A centriole possesses a whorl of nine evenly spaced peripheral fibrils of tubulin. It is absent in the center. Therefore, the arrangement is called a 9+0. (ii) Each fibril is made up of three sub-fibres. Therefore, it is called triplet fibril named A, B, C. (iii) The adjacent triplet fibrils are inter-connected by C-A proteinaceous linkers. (iv) The centre of the centriole possesses a rod-shaped proteinaceous mass known as a hub. From the hub, nine proteinaceous strands are developed t
