Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axonemal microtubules are organized around a central shaft or axoneme, which is a crucial component of flagella and cilia. The axoneme arrangement is highly organized and is composed of nine outer doublets and two central singlet microtubules. This organized arrangement allows for the movement of cilia and flagella.
