Question

_________________ form the basal body of Celia.

• A. Glyoxisome
• B. Endoplasmic reticulum
• C. Centriole
• D. Golgi apparatus

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Centriole

• Centrioles are small, cylindrical organelles that form the basal body of cilia and flagella in eukaryotic cells.

• They play a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of these microtubule-based structures.

• Each cilium or flagellum has a basal body, which is composed of a pair of centrioles.

• The centrioles serve as a template for the assembly of microtubules, which make up the axoneme of the cilium or flagellum.
