D)PCM
E)the plus end

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Basal bodies are a specialized type of centriole that give rise to cilia and flagella. The basal bodies are located at the base of these structures and provide the structural framework necessary for their movement. While the centrosome and centrioles are involved in cell division, they do not give rise to cilia and flagella. The PCM (pericentriolar material) is a component of the centrosome that helps to organize microtubules, but is not involved in cilia and flagella formation. The plus end of microtubules is important for directing their growth, but is not directly involved in producing cilia and flagella.
