Trypanosomes possess a characteristic flagellum that winds helically around the cell. How is this complex structure passed on to the resulting daughter cells during cell division? Moreira-Leite et al. (p. 610) examined the process and found that the new and the old flagella are physically linked during division such that the structural form is passed directly from mother to progeny. This type of morphogenetic inheritance is known as cytotaxis.
