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.
