Solution

  • A symmetry where any plane passing through the central axis divides the body into two equal halves is called the radial symmetry. Eg. Starfish. (1 Mark)
  • In bilateral symmetry, only a single plane divides the body into two equal halves. Eg. Gorilla. (1 Mark)
  • When no imaginary axis through body can get two equal halves, it is said to be asymmetrical. Eg. Paramecium. (1 Mark)
