Most animals are symmetrical in their body plans, which doesn't necessarily mean that they are perfectly symmetrical.
Humans for instance, have two, you can place a mirror right in the middle of a person and it will produce an image of the corresponding side. Humans and most mammals are said to be bilateral (two sides).
Starfish for instance have more than two, they have radial symmetry.
Some members of the animal kingdom do not have any symmetry in their body plans. A good example would be the more primitive of animals, the Poryphera (sponges). Sponges are asymmetrical (do not have symmetry).
A human face typically has asymmetrical symmetry, meaning the left and right sides are not identical but still appear balanced and harmonious. Many natural objects and living organisms exhibit asymmetrical symmetry, which adds complexity and visual interest to their appearance.
In terms of Biology, vertebrates have bilateral symmetry. These include mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Arthropods, e.g. insects, arachnids, caterpillars and worms, also have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
In geometry, or in building, any shape in which one side/half mirrors the other side has bilateral symmetry.
Porifera (sponges), and some Mullusca have secondary asymmetry.
A sponge has no body symmetry. It is therefore said to have "asymmetry".

What are the 3 types of animation?
Bilateral Symmetry - Right down an animal (Worm or fish)Radial Symmetry - Symmetry like a circle (E.g - Starfish)Asymmetrical - No symmetry
What are the 3 conditions that make an object stable?
Low center of gravity: Objects are more stable when their center of gravity is closer to the base of support. Wide base of support: Objects are more stable when they have a wider base to distribute weight and resist tipping over. Symmetry: Objects with symmetrical shapes are typically more stable than asymmetrical objects.
What is another name for reflection summetry?
Another name for reflection symmetry is mirror symmetry.
What are some objects things that have symmetry?
Some objects that have symmetry include butterflies, snowflakes, flowers, and geometric shapes like squares and circles. Symmetry can be seen in both natural and man-made objects.
What are symmetrical and asymmetrical in balance?
Another term for asymmetrical balance is: - informal balance
What do you call an animal with no symmetry?
When it has no symmetry the object is called asymmetrical.
Does an earthworm have asymmetrical symmetry?
No, earthworms have bilateral symmetry.
What is the definition for asymmetrical symmetry?
Asymmetry is the lack of symmetry.
Does a sponge have radial symmetry bilateral symmetry or no symmetry?
A sponge has no symmetry, and is therefore asymmetrical.
What kind of symmetry does a spong have?
asymmetrical
Does a sponge have bilateral symmetry?

Asymmetrical.
What is something without symmetry?
Asymmetrical
The two types of bodt symmentry are?
bilateral symmetry asymmetrical symmetry
What is a brain coral's symmentry?
It has asymmetrical symmetry(no symmetry) at all. It has a random or awkward shape.
What type of symmetry does a grantia have?
It's asymmetrical.
