radial symmetry
radial symmetry
The type of symmetry shown in an animal whose body is arranged around a central axis is called radial symmetry. This means that the body parts are arranged in a circular pattern around a central point, allowing for multiple lines of symmetry. Radial symmetry is commonly found in organisms such as jellyfish and starfish, allowing them to interact with their environment from all directions.
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.

bikateral symmetry
The symmetry shown by objects that can be divided into halves that are mirror images is called bilateral symmetry or reflectional symmetry. In such objects, one half is a mirror image of the other half when divided by a line, known as the line of symmetry. This type of symmetry is commonly observed in biological organisms, such as humans and animals, as well as in various geometric shapes.
