2. Symmetry in biology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_biology

   A selection of animals showing a range of possible body symmetries, including asymmetry, radial, and bilateral body plans Illustration depicting the difference between bilateral , radial (actinomorphic flowers) and spherical (coccus bacteria) symmetry. Symmetry in biology refers to the symmetry observed in organisms, including plants, animals ...

   English: Illustrating different forms of symmetry in biology - the three main forms (bilateral, radial and spherical). Cartoon form generated using shapes from biorender. To be used in the symmetry in biology page.

4. Floral symmetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floral_symmetry

   Examples are orchids and the flowers of most members of the Lamiales (e.g., Scrophulariaceae and Gesneriaceae). Some authors prefer the term monosymmetry or bilateral symmetry. [1] The asymmetry allows pollen to be deposited in specific locations on pollinating insects and this specificity can result in evolution of new species. [2]

5. Patterns in nature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature

   Animals mainly have bilateral or mirror symmetry, as do the leaves of plants and some flowers such as orchids. [30] Plants often have radial or rotational symmetry, as do many flowers and some groups of animals such as sea anemones. Fivefold symmetry is found in the echinoderms, the group that includes starfish, sea urchins, and sea lilies. [31]

6. Bilateria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilateria

   Bilateria (/ ˌ b aɪ l ə ˈ t ɪər i ə / BY-lə-TEER-ee-ə) [5] is a large clade or infrakingdom of animals called bilaterians (/ ˌ b aɪ l ə ˈ t ɪər i ə n / BY-lə-TEER-ee-ən), [6] characterized by bilateral symmetry (i.e. having a left and a right side that are mirror images of each other) during embryonic development.

7. Nerve net - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_net

   Nettle jelly. A nerve net consists of interconnected neurons lacking a brain or any form of cephalization.While organisms with bilateral body symmetry are normally associated with a condensation of neurons or, in more advanced forms, a central nervous system, organisms with radial symmetry are associated with nerve nets, and are found in members of the Ctenophora, Cnidaria, and Echinodermata ...

8. Body plan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_plan

   Evolutionary developmental biology seeks to explain the origins of diverse body plans. Body plans have historically been considered to have evolved in a flash in the Ediacaran biota ; filling the Cambrian explosion with the results, and a more nuanced understanding of animal evolution suggests gradual development of body plans throughout the ...

9. List of animals featuring external asymmetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_featuring...

   Fish: Dorsal view of right-bending (left) and left-bending (right) jaw morphs [4]. Many flatfish, such as flounders, have eyes placed asymmetrically in the adult fish.The fish has the usual symmetrical body structure when it is young, but as it matures and moves to living close to the sea bed, the fish lies on its side, and the head twists so that both eyes are on the top.
