Bilateral and Radial Symmetry in Animals (Classification On the Basis of Body plan)
PoWer Of KnOwledge Academy・2 minutes read
Animals are classified based on symmetry into radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry, and asymmetry, with examples like jellyfish, humans, and sponges respectively. Radial symmetry allows for division at multiple places, bilateral symmetry at one specific place, while asymmetry shows no equal halves regardless of cutting location.
Insights
- Animals are classified based on symmetry into three main types: radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry, and asymmetry.
- Radial symmetry allows animals to be divided into two equal halves at multiple points, bilateral symmetry at one specific point, and asymmetry shows no symmetry at all.
