This is called bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means an organism 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. This is seen in all vertebrates, and many invertebrates such as arthropods.

Yes, two planes. Each of them divides the seam in half.


What plane divides the body into a mirror images is?

The plane that divides the body into mirror images is known as the midsagittal plane or median plane. This plane passes through the midline of the body, dividing it into left and right halves that are symmetrical.


What section divides the body into mirror images?

The midsagittal plane, also known as the median plane, divides the body into two equal left and right halves, creating mirror images.

What is an axe of symmerty?

There is no such thing. An axis (plural = axes) of symmetry (not symmerty) for any plane figure is a line which divides the figure into two shapes that are mirror images of one another.

What are horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry?

A line which divides a body into two parts, such that each part is the mirror image of the others, then the line is called a line of symmetry. If such a line is parallel to the horizontal plane, then it is called a horizontal line of symmetry. Else, if the line of symmetry is perpendicular to the horizontal plane then it is a vertical line of symmetry.


What is the giraffes symmetry?

A giraffes symmetry is the same as a human's, bilateral symmetry. drawing a line down the one plane through the central axis produces two halves that are mirror images of each other.

What kind of symmetry is shown in an animal whos body can only be divided in one plane to show mirror images?

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.
