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.
