Centrioles are seen in
AFungal cells of all known species
BAll plant cells without any exception
CAnimal cells and certain lower plants
DBacterial cells only, never elsewhere
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Animal cells and certain lower plants
Centrioles (typically as pairs forming a centrosome) are found in most animal cells and in lower plants.
Higher plants generally lack centrioles.
Bacteria have neither centrosomes nor microtubule-based spindle apparatus.
