In bilateral symmetry (also called plane symmetry), only one plane, called the sagittal plane, will divide an organism into roughly mirror image halves (with respect to external appearance only, see situs solitus). Thus there is approximate reflection symmetry. Often the two halves can meaningfully be referred to as the right and left halves, e.g. in the case of an animal with a main direction of motion in the plane of symmetry.

What is the identical or almost identical repeating body parts?
These body parts are called segments.
Type of symmetry in which body parts are mirror images of each other?
Bilateral Symmetry
What is the body symmetry of liver fluke?
A liver fluke has bilateral symmetry because it has a mirror image if you cut it in half.
What is the body symmetry of kingdom protist?
Yes, although the type (radial, bilateral) varies from species to species.
What are the 4 parts to a bilateral animal?
nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and cell membrane
What is the identical or almost identical repeating body parts?
These body parts are called segments.
Is a ant a bilateral?
All ants are- so are we. Bilateral symmetry means body parts are in pairs- like our arms & legs.

Bilateral Symmetry
What type of symmetry does an animal have when the body parts are arranged in a similar ways on both sides?
"bilateral"
Body plan of a hookworm?
hookworms have bilateral symmetry
What did bilateral symmetry lead to the evolution of?
It allows different parts of the body to become specialized in different ways. This is called cephalization.
Is a frog a bilateral?
Yes, a frog is bilateral on the external parts. On the inside, however, they are not symmetrical.
What does bilateral presence mean?
Both sides of body should shows same pulse rate, rhythm and volume. Used to check circulation in body parts after surgery
What kind of symmetry does the earthworm have?
bilateral symmetry- body plan in which an animal that can be dinided into 2 equal sdes.
What do Radial and Bilateral have in common?
Symmetry in biology is the balanced distribution of duplicate body parts or shapes. The body plans of most multicellular organisms exhibit some form of symmetry, either radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry or "spherical symmetry". A small minority exhibit no symmetry (are asymmetric).
