Question

Is a turtle an example of bilateral symmetry?

Answer 1

Bilateral symmetry:

1. Bilateral symmetry is defined as body symmetry in which the body can be divided into two identical halves in only one plane.
2. It involves the division of the animal through a plane, which results in two mirror-image, right and left halves.
3. Turtles can be divided into two exactly equal parts.
4. Hence, turtles are bilaterally symmetrical like other reptiles.
