What type of symmetry do flying mammals have?

Answer 1

All mammals, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This 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.

Answer 2

Baleen whales, like the Humpback or the Minke, that drift through the water gulping up krill by the swimming-pool-ful, have lovely symmetric skulls. They also cannot use echolocation. hey don't need to hunt. They just need to find big clouds of krill to hork down. Sperm whales, on the other hand, plunge into the depths, chasing after giant squid with sharp beaks and suction cups lined with chitinous teeth. They need to know where to go, and fast, and they use echolocation to get there. They also have strange, asymmetrical skulls.But now, a paper to be published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has shown that the asymmetry came first. Underwater, to hear directionally, whales needed asymmetrical skulls.

Answer 3

All species of whales are mammals, which are vertebrates, and like all vertebrates they have bilateral symmetry. This 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.

Answer 4

All vertebrates have bilateral symmetry. This 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.

Answer 5

All mammals (including humans) have BILATERAL SYMMETRY.

Answer 6

Bilateral. All vertebrates have bilateral symmetry.

Answer 7

Most mammals have bilateral symetry. Meaning that they have two equal sides.

Answer 8

bilateral
