Question

Is snail radially symmetrical?


Open in App
Solution

Bilateral symmetry:

Similar anatomical portions are organized on opposing sides of a median axis in symmetry so that only one plane can divide the individual into virtually identical halves.

Example:- Snails and other molluscs are some examples of bilateral symmetry.

Radial symmetry:

Any plane going through the center divides the body into two halves, which is known as radial symmetry.

Echinoderms, Coelenterates, and other echinoderms are examples.

No, snails are not radially symmetrical.
