Question

Which two of these characteristics does an organism with bilateral symmetry possess?

Answer 1

Choices (b) and (c) are the most correct. Bilateral symmetry requires a central axis for there to be two halves. In addition, this type of symmetry requires a head, which will encounter the environment before any other part of the body and move in the direction of travel. Most animals exhibit this characteristic.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answers are options B. "symmetrical in many ways across a central axis" and C. "presence of a head".

Explanation:

Bilateral symmetry is a characteristic that many organisms has at which if we divide the body using an imaginary line, we will see two mirror images. Two characteristics that an organism with bilateral symmetry possess are symmetrical in many ways across a central axis (known as well as the sagittal plane), and presence of a head that is at the middle of the central axis. The great majority of organisms posses bilateral symmetry, including the humans.
