What are the advantages to bilateral symmetry?
those animals which are bilateral symmetrical are triploblastic and triploblasts are more successful and diplobalsts(radial symmetrical) due to their complex body organization
What are the five characteristics of complex animals?
specialized cells,bilateral cymmetry, cephalization and a body cavity
What type of symmetry do most animals have?
Most animals have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means that if you draw a line from head to tail right down the middle of the body, you would have two halves the same but mirror images.
Is a squid assymetric?
No. It is radial, which means that its body s centered o one point. Other symmetry for animals are asymmetrical and bilateral. Asymmetrical means an animal has no symmetry. Sponges are asymmetrical.
