The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Term "Axoneme":** - Axoneme is a structural component of cilia and flagella. It is the core structure that provides the necessary support and movement for these organelles. 2. **Evaluating the Options:** - The question provides four options to identify what axoneme is. 3. **Analyzing Each Option:** - **Option 1: Chromatin material of chromosome.** - This option is incorrect. Chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins, primarily histones, and is not related to axoneme. - **Option 2: Central Proteinaceous Cylinder of a Centriole.** - This option is also incorrect. The centriole is involved in cell division and has a different structure than axoneme. - **Option 3: Core of Nucleosome.** - This option is incorrect as well. Nucleosomes are units of DNA packaging in chromosomes and do not relate to axoneme. - **Option 4: Core of Flagellum.** - This option is correct. The axoneme is indeed the core structure of flagella and cilia, consisting of microtubules arranged in a specific pattern. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer is that axoneme is the "core of flagellum." **Final Answer:** Axoneme is the core of flagellum. ---
