Body Symmetry: Asymmetry, Radial, Bilateral
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An animal body shows asymmetry, radial symmetry around a central axis, or bilateral symmetry with matching left and right halves.
Show
A sponge is asymmetrical, a sea anemone is radially symmetrical, and a crab is bilaterally symmetrical despite its unusual shape.
Watch for
Radial symmetry suits a stationary or drifting lifestyle, sensing equally in all directions — not a precursor stage to bilateral symmetry.
