The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Structure of Eukaryotic Flagellum:** - Eukaryotic flagella are composed of a specific arrangement of microtubules. - They typically have a "9+2" structure, which means there are 9 outer doublet microtubules surrounding 2 central microtubules. 2. **Identifying the Role of Interdoublet Links:** - The outer doublets are not just free-standing; they are connected to each other by interdoublet links. - These links are crucial for the structural integrity and function of the flagellum, allowing for coordinated movement. 3. **Recognizing the Protein Involved:** - The protein that forms these interdoublet links is known as "nexin." - Nexin serves as a connecting protein between the outer doublet microtubules, ensuring they remain attached and can work together during flagellar movement. 4. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the interdoublet links in eukaryotic flagellum are made up of a protein called **nexin**. **Final Answer:** The interdoublet links in eukaryotic flagellum are made up of a protein called **nexin**. ---
