Microtubules are the constituents of

  1. Cilia, Flagella and Peroxisomes
  2. Centrosome, Nucleosome and Centrioles
  3. Spindle fibres, Centrioles and Cilia
  4. Centrioles, spindle fibres and chromatin

Answer

(3) Spindle fibres, Centrioles and Cilia

Solution

As per NCERT, the core (axoneme) of cilia and flagella is made of microtubules (9 + 2 array); each centriole is made of nine peripheral fibrils of tubulin triplets; the spindle apparatus is formed of microtubules.

⇒ Peroxisomes are membrane-bound microbodies; nucleosomes and chromatin are DNA + histone units.

∴ Spindle fibres, centrioles and cilia contain microtubules.
