SteveAn 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.

What type of symmetry does a 5 sides star have?
A star has bilateral symmetry, meaning that if you draw a line right down the middle of it, the two halves are mirror images of each other.
Can a butterfly's organisms be externally divided into equal halves but dpesn't have a distinguable right and left sides?
Yes, a butterfly's body can be externally divided into equal halves through a plane passing through the center, a characteristic known as bilateral symmetry. While the two halves may appear mirror images of each other, butterflies do not have a distinct right or left side due to this symmetry. This allows for balanced development and efficient movement in their environment.
Are left and right fingerprints mirror images of each other?
No, they are not.
What kind of symmetry does a seal have?
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.
What are mirror twins?
Mirror image twins are identical and have mirror image differences but are genetically identical which means they have the same DNA. A set of mirror-image twins will have similarities like a mole. One twin would have it on his left arm while the other would have it on his right. Another common feature is one twin being left handed, while the other is right handed. For male twins, the swirl of hair crown is often in the opposite direction.
