Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The construction or formation of flagella and cilia is directed by the basal body, a microtubule organizing center located at the base of these structures. The basal body serves as a template for the assembly of microtubules that make up the axoneme, the core structure of flagella and cilia. The axoneme is composed of tubulin, but it is directed and organized by the basal body. The centriole is a type of basal body found in animal cells that is involved in cell division but not in the construction of flagella or cilia.
