4. Match each type of animal symmetry with the correct description. (4 points) Spherical Only two planes passing through longitudinal axis will divide the organism into similar halves. Radial Any plane passing through the center will divide an organism into two symmetrical or mirrored halves. Biradial Division along the sagittal plane will divide the organism into two mirrored halves. Bilateral More than two planes passing through the longitudinal axis will divide the organism into similar halves.

Madhur L.
Analyze the following statements regarding animal symmetry and indicate whether each is true or false. 1. Animals displaying bilateral symmetry can be divided into no more than one vertical plane at the midline, where each half creates a mirror image of the other. 2. A jellyfish displaying radial symmetry can be divided into no more than three lines of symmetry. 3. Animals with radial symmetry include the phyla Cnidaria and Ctenophora. 4. All nonradiate animals, including the sponges, display bilateral symmetry.
Md.Daniyal A.
A bilaterally symmetrical animal can be divided into mirror-image halves by a. any plane through the midline of its body. b. any plane from its anterior to its posterior end. c. any plane from its dorsal to its ventral surface. d. a single plane through the midline of its body from its anterior to its posterior end. e. a single plane that divides it into dorsal and ventral halves.
