The classification of organisms in to groups is known as Biological Taxonomy. The value of classification that allows biologists to descern the relationships between different living organisms. The taxonomic key is a tool that can be used to identify animals or living organisms.

What are two major divisions of the animal kingdom?

Two major divisions of the animal kingdom are invertebrates (animals without a backbone) and vertebrates (animals with a backbone). Another way to classify animals is by their symmetry, such as bilateral symmetry (divided into two mirror images) and radial symmetry (circular arrangement of body parts).


What animals have radical symmetry?

Not sure what you are referring to, "radical" symmetry. But if you meant radial symmetry then you might be looking at animals in the family with starfish, jellyfish, anemones, etc. There is also bilateral symmetry where both sides look the same. Look up radial symmetry and see what you can find.


Almost all animals except what have either radial or bilateral symmetry?

Almost all animals except sponges have either radial or bilateral symmetry. Sponges belong to the phylum Porifera, characterized by their lack of symmetry.

Is there an animal without symmetry?

Individual organisms are obviously rarely symmetrical themselves, so symmetry is referring to a perfect example of the species. There are 3 types of symmetry present in organisms.The first is bilateral symmetry. This is probably the most common, and it is present in humans. It means that the organism can be cut in half and produce two equal sides in one and only one way.The next is radial symmetry. Radial symmetry means that the animal can be cut in half and produce two equal sides in multiple directions, like a sand dollar or a sea star.The last, which your question is about, is asymmetry. This mean the organism exhibits no symmetry at all. An example of this is something like a common sponge in the class demospongiae. Hope this helps!Animals lacking symmetry are known as asymmetrical. This means they lack spherical, radial, and bilateral symmetry. Most commonly, this can be seen among sponges. (yes, sponges are animals :O )All animals start out with some sort of symmetry but then some lose it as they develop into their adult form. One good example would be the oyster.
