A molecule possess an n-fold alternating axis of symmetry if,when rotated through an angle of 3600/n about this axis and then followed by reflection of in plane perpendicular to the axis;the molecule is indistinguishable from the original molecule.

What is symmetry and plane symmetry?
There are three elements of symmetry: 1-axis of symmetry It's a line which cuts the molecule into two equal halves. 2-plane of symmetry It's a plane which cuts the molecule into two equal halves (such as 'axis of symmetry' but axis is a line and here it's a plane). 3-center of symmetry It's a point in space that, if you draw a line from any part to it, and then extend the line beyond it, another atom will be encountered.
Does a slime have bilateral symmetry radial symmetry or is it asymmetrical?
They are animals that are bilateral, they can be split into two perfectly into two, the parts that lie opposite of the axis of the worm is identical.
Which body symmetry type repeats around the center?
Radial symmetry forms a repeating pattern around a central axis.
Body form that looks like spokes of wheels is what type of symmetry?
This is radial symmetry. Animals with radial body symmetry display a regular arrangement of body parts around a central axis, usually in a circular pattern.
Dyad axis DNA nucleosome?
The Nucleosome has an approximate two fold axis of symmetry which is called the Dyad Axis. So when you rotate the Nucleosome by 180 degree you would observe the similar view of Nucleosome before the rotation.
What type of symmetry is a swastika?
Fourfold rotational. In chemistry, it would be called a C4 axis.

Does a can of soda have both axis of symmetry and plane symmetry?
If you ignore the print, then it has a plane of symmetry (possibly) but not an axis of symmetry. If you ignore the print and the "pop-top" part, then it has both.
