Most animals are symmetrical in their body plans, which doesn't necessarily mean that they are perfectly symmetrical.
Humans for instance, have two, you can place a mirror right in the middle of a person and it will produce an image of the corresponding side. Humans and most mammals are said to be bilateral (two sides).
Starfish for instance have more than two, they have radial symmetry.
Some members of the animal kingdom do not have any symmetry in their body plans. A good example would be the more primitive of animals, the Poryphera (sponges). Sponges are asymmetrical (do not have symmetry).

∙ 10y agoIn terms of Biology, vertebrates have bilateral symmetry. These include mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Arthropods, e.g. insects, arachnids, caterpillars and worms, also have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
In geometry, or in building, any shape in which one side/half mirrors the other side has bilateral symmetry.

What are the 3 types of animation?
Bilateral Symmetry - Right down an animal (Worm or fish)Radial Symmetry - Symmetry like a circle (E.g - Starfish)Asymmetrical - No symmetry
What are symmetrical and asymmetrical in balance?
Another term for asymmetrical balance is: - informal balance
What Occurs when downstream throughput is higher than upstream throughput?
Asymmetrical communications
Is a windmill a rotational symmetry?
yes
The type of body symmetry in which only one plane divides the body into mirror images is?
This is called bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means an organism has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side. This is seen in all vertebrates, and many invertebrates such as arthropods.
What do you call an animal with no symmetry?
When it has no symmetry the object is called asymmetrical.
Does an earthworm have asymmetrical symmetry?
No, earthworms have bilateral symmetry.
What is the definition for asymmetrical symmetry?
Asymmetry is the lack of symmetry.
Does a sponge have radial symmetry bilateral symmetry or no symmetry?
A sponge has no symmetry, and is therefore asymmetrical.
Does a sponge have bilateral symmetry?
no, it is asymmetrical
What kind of symmetry does a spong have?

The two types of bodt symmentry are?
bilateral symmetry asymmetrical symmetry
What phylum has no body symmetry?
Porifera is the phylum with no body symmetry: it is asymmetrical.
What is a brain coral's symmentry?
It has asymmetrical symmetry(no symmetry) at all. It has a random or awkward shape.
