Want this question answered?
A seal has bilateral symmetry. This means that if you cut the seal into right and left halves (called a sagittal cut), the two halves will be basically identical to each other. This is the same time of symmetry seen in humans.
An object or organism that has left and right halves that mirror each other is said to exhibit bilateral symmetry. This is a common characteristic of many animals, including humans. It means that if an imaginary line is drawn down the center of the organism, the two halves will be nearly identical in shape and size.
The body has symmetry. The right and left sides are (near) mirror images.
A grasshopper has bilateral symmetry. The left side is essentially a mirror of the right. IT doesn't have any other types of symmetry.
Four axes of symmetry: vertical axis, horizontal, positive diagonal (bottom left to top right) and negative diagonal (top left to bottom right). In fact, any straight line through the centre of the square divides it into two halves so there are an infinite number of ways, not just four. And the above are without looking at symmetric curves through the centre of the square.
Bilateral symmetry divides an organism into left and right halves.

The word you're looking for is.... symmetry.
bilateral symmetry
This is called a sagittal plane if divided this way with symmetrical left and right halves. If the section produces asymmetrical halves, this is a parasagittal section.
right hemisphere and left hemisphere
The brain has a left cerebral hemisphere and a right cerebral hemisphere, as well as a stem.
Cerebral hemispheres (left and right)
Most fish are symmetrical, which means if you divided them in half, each side would be the same. With fish, each side would have an eye, a pectoral fin, the same amount of body and half a tail.
The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves.
An object or organism that has left and right halves that mirror each other is said to exhibit bilateral symmetry. This is a common characteristic of many animals, including humans. It means that if an imaginary line is drawn down the center of the organism, the two halves will be nearly identical in shape and size.
The dissectional planes that divides the body into left and right equal halves are called the midsagittal plane. This answer is referenced from my dental assisting book. Keisha
