Question

Study the following and pick up the correct statements: 
I. The peripheral doublets of a flagellum are interconnected by linkers called nexins. 
II. The basal granule of flagellum is connected to plasma membrane and nucleus by rootlets. 
III. Flagellum in Monas are strichomonate type. 
IV. Pantomonemantic flagellum is found in Polytoma. 
 

• A. I, III
• B. II, IV
• C. II, III
• D. I, II

Hint:

Understanding flagellum structure and function is essential in studying movement in microorganisms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The peripheral doublets of a flagellum are indeed interconnected by nexins (I).
The basal granule of flagellum is connected to the plasma membrane and nucleus by rootlets (II).
Flagellum in Monas is not strichomonate type, so statement III is incorrect.
Pantomonemantic flagellum is not found in Polytoma, so statement IV is incorrect.
Thus, the correct statements are I and II.
Final Answer:
I, II
