A bacterium which has a group of two or more flagella inserted at one pole of the cell
Correct answer: C. Lophotrichous
- A. Monotrichous
- B. Peritrichous
- C. Lophotrichous
- D. Amphitrichous
Explanation
There are four types of flagellar arrangements based on the number and placement of flagella on the cell. These are, 1. Monotrichous - A single flagellum extends from one end of the cell. 2. Amphitrichous - A single flagellum or multiple flagella extend from two ends of the cell. 3.Lophotrichous - Tufts of flagella extend from one end or both ends of the cell. 4. Peritrichous - Multiple flagella randomly distributed over the entire bacterial cell. Thus, the correct answer is 'Lophotrichous.'
