Write one point of difference between radial and bilateral symmetry.

Solution

When any vertical plane passing through the body's central axis divides the organisms into two identical halves, it is called radial symmetry.
Bilateral symmetry, only one plane (called the sagittal plane) will divide an organism into roughly mirror-image halves, the body can be divided into identical left and right halves in only one plane.
Radial symmetry Bilateral symmetry
Through any vertical plane that passes through the central axis, a radial symmetry body can be divided into two equal halves. Only the midsagittal plane divides the body into two equal halves in bilateral symmetry.
Examples: Echinoderms, Coelenterates, etc. Examples: Annelids, Arthropods, Molluscs, Chordates, etc.
