What is bilateral symmetry ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Bilateral symmetry is a type of symmetry in which the body can be divided into two equal halves only (usually passing through the midline at right angles to the dorsal and ventral surfaces) as important body organs are paired and occur on the two sides of a control axis. Examples annelids, arthropods, etc.
