The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the axoneme of the eukaryotic flagellum possesses a number of microtubules running parallel to the long axis. - In eukaryotic flagella, the axoneme is the structural core that contains microtubules arranged in a specific pattern. 2. **Analyzing the Structure of the Axoneme**: - The axoneme typically exhibits a "9 + 2" arrangement of microtubules. This means there are 9 pairs of peripheral microtubules arranged in a circle and 2 central microtubules. - The peripheral microtubules are indeed running parallel to the long axis of the flagellum. 3. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason provided states that the axoneme has a pair of peripheral doublets and a pair of centrally located microtubules. - While the peripheral microtubules are correctly described as doublets, the central microtubules are not paired; they are single and unfused. 4. **Determining the Truth of the Statements**: - Since the assertion is true (the axoneme does contain microtubules running parallel to the long axis), we confirm that the assertion is correct. - However, the reason is false because it incorrectly describes the central microtubules as paired when they are actually unpaired. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The correct answer is **Option C**: Assertion is true, but reason is false.

Assertion : The arrangement of axonemal microtubules in cilia or flagella is called 9 + 2 array. Reason : The axoneme usually has nine pairs or doubles of radially arranged peripheral microtubules, and a pair of centrally located microtubules.

In the axoneme of cilium, the pair of central microtubules are connected to peripheral to peripheral microtubules (doublet) by
