Q. Bacteria with group of flagella on both sides

UP CPMTUP CPMT 2010Biological Classification

Solution:

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 bacterial cell.
2. Amphitrichous - A single flagellum or multiple flagella extend from two ends of the cell.
3. Lophotrichous - Tuft 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 'Amphitrichous.'
