Symmetry

What type of symmetry does this animal exhibit?

• Asymmetry

• Bilateral symmetry

• Radial symmetry

If you divide something in half (have a left and right side), the

sides are “mirror images.” (Most animals have this)

• dichotomous

• bilateral symmetry

• diversity

• radial symmetry

• One line that divides them into two mirror images

What is a symmetry

• Symmetry is an object that have 2 identical parts

• Symmetry is when an object have 2 parts

• Symmetry is when an object is divided to 2 halves

• Symmetry is when an object have 2 parts but not identical

• Symmetry is when an object have 2 equal identical halves
