To differentiate between radially symmetrical and bilaterally symmetrical organisms, we can break down the characteristics of each type of symmetry step by step. ### Step 1: Definition of Radial Symmetry - **Radial Symmetry**: Organisms with radial symmetry can be divided into similar halves by multiple planes that pass through a central axis. This means that if you cut the organism in any direction through the center, you will get two equal halves. ### Step 2: Definition of Bilateral Symmetry - **Bilateral Symmetry**: Organisms with bilateral symmetry can only be divided into two equal halves by a single vertical plane that divides the body into left and right sides. This means that there is only one way to cut the organism to achieve two equal halves. ...
