Bilateral Symmetry

Real World Example

Imagine trying to evenly slice a loaf of bread so that each half is identical in shape and size. This challenge is similar to the concept of bilateral symmetry in living organisms, where a body plan is designed such that each half is a mirror image of the other. Just like slicing the bread down the middle to ensure both sides look the same, bilateral symmetry in organisms involves an invisible line down the center that divides the body into two identical halves, ensuring balance and uniformity in structure and function.
