Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Tubulin protein is major component of
A
flagella and cilia
B
volvox and mosses
C
ferns and cilia
D
flagella and mosses
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are made up of a 9+2 arrangement of microtubules connected by dynein, which uses ATP to create a wave-like bending movement. In cilia and flagella tubulin forms a core structure of the microtubules. Thus the correct answer is option A.

Detailed explanation-2: -In eukaryotic cells, cilia and flagella contain the motor protein dynein and microtubules, which are composed of linear polymers of globular proteins called tubulin.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tubulin family of proteins are vital components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and are the main constituent of microtubules in living cells. The tubulin proteins -and polymerize into long chains or filaments that form microtubules, an essential element of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotic flagella is made up of tubulin protein and eukaryotic flagella is made up of flagellin protein.
