you can tell if an animal have bilateral symmetry if you cut the animal in half, (hypothetically) and both sides are the same
Animals without symmetry tend to have simple body plans. In contrast, the bodies of animals with bilateral symmetry or radial symmetry are complex
Bilateral Symmetry
radial symmetry
An animal whose body can only be divided in one plane to show mirror images is said to exhibit bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means that the animal has a distinct front and back, a top and bottom, and two sides that are mirror images of each other. This type of symmetry is characteristic of most animals, including humans, and allows for the development of specialized appendages, such as arms and legs, which are important for movement and manipulation of the environment.
No symmetry
The most prominent animal phyla with radial symmetry are the Echinodermata (starfish and sea urchins) and the Cnidaria (jellyfish and corals).
If a animal has a head then its body symmetry is bilateral.
How can you identify the body symmetry of an animal
Their teeth.
What can you infer about volcanic activity based on the location of copper deposits?
Bilateral Symmetry
It is the only known animal from the entire known history of life that appears to be based on a 3-fold radial symmetry.
When it has no symmetry the object is called asymmetrical.
Based on the evidence presented, we can infer that the suspect was at the scene of the crime.
One animal that has radial symmetry is a sea sponge.
Bilateral Symmetry - Right down an animal (Worm or fish)Radial Symmetry - Symmetry like a circle (E.g - Starfish)Asymmetrical - No symmetry
Opposite symmetry LOL :)
Jellyfish are ocean animals with radial symmetry.
