The answer is it contains 9 pairs of microtubules. Microtubules are filamentous intracellular arrangements that are accountable for various kinds of movements in all eukaryotic cells. Microtubules are involved in nucleic and cell division, organization of intracellular structure, and intracellular transport, in addition to ciliary and flagellar motility.
