Pilli hollow appendages in bacteria function in?
Correct answer: B. Conjugation
- A. Motality
- B. Conjugation
- C. Chemical detection
- D. None of above options are correct
Explanation
Option A : Pilli is not involved in motility. Motility is the function of flagella. Option: B Pilli hollow appendages in bacteria function in conjugation. Pilli is primarily involved in the mating process called conjugation. Conjugating bacteria use specialized sex pilli, which are hollow appendages, to transfer genetic material (DNA). Option C : Chemical detection i.e. chemotaxis is the function of flagella.
