Question

What is body symmetry of echinoderms?

Answer 1

Echinoderms:

1. Echinoderms are marine animals and can be found in the depths of the ocean as well as in the intertidal zone.
2. These are exclusively free-living marine animals.
3. There are two symmetries present in echinoderms.
4. The adult echinoderms have radial symmetry but larvae have bilateral symmetry.
5. Radial symmetry is a type of body symmetry, where any plane passing through the center divides the body into two halves.
6. Bilateral symmetry is defined as body symmetry where the body can be divided into two identical halves in only one plane.
