The organism can be divided into similar halves by passing a plane at any angle along a central axis is called
Options
- ARadial symmetry
- BBilateral symmetry
- CAsymmetrical
- DMore than one option is correct
Correct answer
A. Radial symmetry
Step-by-step solution
Asymmetric: When any plane passing through the centre does not divide the body into equal halves, the organism is said to be asymmetric, e.g., sponges. Most of the sponges are asymmetrical. Radially symmetrical: When any plane passing through the central axis of the body divides the organism into two identical halves, it is called radial symmetry and the organisms possessing it are called radially symmetric. For e.g., some sponges, coelenterates, ctenophores, adult echinoderms. Bilaterally symmetrical: When the bod
