- Know the three types of body symmetry and be able to give an example that was discussed in the lecture

Solution

Bilateral Symmetry is having equal arrangement of parts (symmetry) about a vertical plane that passes through the axis of the body to separate the two halves referred to as the right and left halves. Example: Humans

Radial symmetry is the arrangement of body parts around a central axis. Here the body can be divided into two roughly equal halves by any one of many vertical planes passing through the central axis. Example: corals, sea anemones,

Asymmetrical symmetry: there are no body axis and no plane of symmetry,
Example: Members of phylum porifera
