you can tell if an animal have bilateral symmetry if you cut the animal in half, (hypothetically) and both sides are the same
Bilateral Symmetry
radial symmetry
The adult animal that most certainly possesses bilateral symmetry is a frog. Frogs have distinct left and right sides that are mirror images of each other, resulting in bilateral symmetry.
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.
Almost all animals have bilateral symmetry with the exception of some crabs and flounders. Bilateral symmetry means that if you made an invisible line down the middle of the animal (down the spine), both halves would be the same. Your dog has an ear on each side, and eye, a front leg, a back leg, etcetera (excepting accidents of course).
Animals are classified based on their symmetry as either radial or bilateral. Radial symmetry means the animal can be divided into equal halves in multiple ways around a central point, like a starfish. Bilateral symmetry means the animal can be divided into two equal halves along a single plane, like a human.
If a animal has a head then its body symmetry is bilateral.
How can you identify the body symmetry of an animal
Their teeth.
Bilateral Symmetry
When it has no symmetry the object is called asymmetrical.
What can you infer about volcanic activity based on the location of copper deposits?
It is the only known animal from the entire known history of life that appears to be based on a 3-fold radial symmetry.
One animal that has radial symmetry is a sea sponge.
Bilateral Symmetry - Right down an animal (Worm or fish)Radial Symmetry - Symmetry like a circle (E.g - Starfish)Asymmetrical - No symmetry
From your defensive nature I was able to infer that I was right.
Opposite symmetry LOL :)
