Which animals have no tissues?

• snails

• worms

• sponges

Body symmetry describes:

• the similarity or balance, among body structures

• the first branching point of the tissues branch

The type of symmetry defines

• the kind of life an animal can have

• the kind of movement an animal can make

The are three types of body symmetry, which are they?

Opposite sides of the body that are normally alike.

• Asymmetry

• Radial Symmetry

• Bilateral Symmetry

The condition of having similar parts regularly arranged around a central axis.

• Asymmetry

• Radial Symmetry

• Bilateral Symmetry

Involves the division of the animal through a sagittal plane, resulting in two mirror-image, right and left halves

• Asymmetry

• Radial Symmetry

• Bilateral Symmetry

An animal with bilateral symmetry that has a head end and a tail end, is called:

• cephalus

• cephalization

• cephalopodan
