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.
