Yes, a sea star does have radial symmetry, because it is symmetrical in more than one place around an axis. Hope I helped you.

What type of skeleton do starfish have?

For a body plan, a starfish has 5-part radial symmetry, spiny skin, internal skeleton, water vascular system, and suction cup-like structures called tube feet.


What type of symmetry does the starfish have?

they have radially symmetricalANS2:They appear to have radial symmetry but closer inspection will show that the madreporite (sieve plate) is not centered and the animal's behavior demonstrates that it has a preference in its axis of motion i.e., it has a "head end" even though it has no head. The bipinnaria larva of the starfish is bilaterally symmetrical and only takes on the apparent radial symmetry as an adult. Because of the off-center location of the madreporite, one could argue that the adult is bilaterally symmetrical but, junior high and high school biology classes don't encourage you to disagree so, you should probably answer "radial" if you are answering a multiple choice question.ANS3:Radial because it has more than one line of symmetry through the center Further Comment: I question the logic for answer 3. More than one line of symmetry through the central does not imply radial symmetry. I vote for ans1 as an approximation, and ans2 as a more detailed answer.

What is the difference between asymmetrical and radial symmetry?

Symmetrical balance is when everything is perfectly and evenly balanced out. Asymmetrical balance refers to a design that has dissimilar elements but still appears balanced, dividing a picture in half won't have the exact same elements however the elements they do have are varied and seem to balance one another out.

What group has radial symmetry as adult's?

Cnidaria (Hydra, jellyfish, sea anemones, corals, etc.), generally have radial symmetry, although not all sea anemones or corals do. Echinodermata (sea stars, sea urchins, crinoids, sea cucumbers, etc.) are radially symmetrical as adults, but not as larvae.
