What kind of symmetry does a scorpion have?

Answer 1

Arthropods 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

Yes. All arthropods have bilateral symmetry. Arthropods include insects, arachnids, crustaceans, centipedes and millipedes.

Bilateral symmetry means something 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.

Answer 3

Arthropods evidence bilateral symmetry; left half of the body is a mirror image of the right as reflected across an imaginary midline drawn from the head through the abdomen. Contrast with the echinoderms which display radial symmetry (sea urchin, sand dollar, starfish).

Answer 4

Scorpions are arthropods, and all arthropods 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.
