What is common between a eukaryotic and prokaryotic flagella?

A

Same structure

B

Both are used for locomotion

C

Composed of same proteins

D

Both are extension of cell membrane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The common feature between eukaryotic and prokaryotic flagella is that both are used for locomotion. Prokaryotic lagellum is single stranded while eukaryotic flagellum is 11-stranded. Eukaryotic flagellum has two parts, basal body and shaft, while prokaryotic flagellum consists of three parts, basal body, hook and filament. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagellum are made up of flagellin and tubulin proteins, respectively.

  • Mark the incorrect differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic transcription. I. In eukaryotes , the genes are split having exons and introns while in prokaryotes it isn't . ii The structural gene which is to be transcribed is generally mono- cistronic in prokaryotes and poly-cistronic in eukaryotes . III . The RAN formed with the help of RNA polymerase in eukaryotes requires future processing to function as m-RNA while in prokaryotes it is directly used as m - RNA. IV. In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region while in prokaryotes it binds to the operator region .
