I'm assuming dissymmetry means asymmetry here.
Symmetry in chemistry is a lot like symmetry in mathematics. If a certain molecule is identical to its mirror image, then it is said to be symmetrical.
Asymmetry means the opposite. An asymmetric molecule is not identical to its mirror image.
Our hands are an example of asymmetry. Look at your two hands. You will see that they are mirror images of each other. However, they are not exactly the same. Whereas, the thumb on the left hand is on the right, the thumb on the right hand is on the left.
In chemistry, an example is 1-bromo 1-chloro ethane. If you draw its structure in the tetrahedral shape, you will see that 4 different groups are attached to the second carbon. Now draw its mirror image. Are they the same in 3D? No.

Why did Vladimir Prelog win The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1975?
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1975 was divided equally between John Warcup Cornforth for his work on the stereochemistry of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and Vladimir Prelog for his research into the stereochemistry of organic molecules and reactions.
What does it mean to say that the chemistry of life is based upon geometry?
This is an uncertain affirmation although the stereochemistry of organic compounds is very important.
How do you think the appropriate enzyme would have affected the reaction degree of completion yield stereochemistry?
The appropriate enzyme enhances the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy, which can lead to a higher degree of completion and yield. Enzymes can also provide a specific environment that favors the formation of particular stereoisomers, thereby affecting the stereochemistry of the product. This selectivity can result in an increased yield of the desired stereoisomer while minimizing unwanted byproducts. Overall, the presence of the right enzyme optimizes the reaction efficiency and specificity.

What is the difference between an epimer and a diastereomer in terms of their stereochemical arrangement?
An epimer is a type of diastereomer that differs in the stereochemistry at only one chiral center, while diastereomers differ in stereochemistry at two or more chiral centers.
What does E stand for in liquids?
E isomer, absolute stereochemistry of double bonds
