What type of symmetry does this animal exhibit?
bilaterally symmetrical
Most animals are bilaterally symmetrical with a line of symmetry dividing their body into left and right sides along with a “head” and “tail” in addition to a top and bottom. Only sponges (phylum Porifera) have asymmetrical body plans.
What is the example of radial symmetry?
Radial Symmetry in Biology Overview
| Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
| Bilateral symmetry | equal on both sides, down the middle |
| Radial symmetry | an organism can be divided equally about a central point, much like a pie cut into equal parts |
| Cnidarians | include jellyfish, anemones, and corals |
| Echinoderms | sea stars, urchins, and sea cucumbers |
What kind of symmetry do penguins have?
The reason the penguin falls in the phylum Chordata is because of its bilateral symmetry, being triploblastic in nature (three tissue layers), and it being a deuterostome meaning the anus develops before the mouth in early embryonic development.
What kind of forelock does a donkey have?
Donkeys do not have a true forelock, although sometimes the mane grows long enough to comb down between the ears toward the eyes. Because the mane is stiff and sometimes flyaway, many donkeys, especially show stock, wear their manes clipped short or shaved close to the neck.
What are the different colors of a donkey?
Colors in the donkey range from the gray shades of gray-dun to brown, a rare bay (though not as red-toned as in horses) , black, light-faced roan (both red and gray), variants of sorrel (Registry term – RED), the blue-eyed Ivory (also called cream or white-phase), Frosted/spotted White, and a unique Spotted pattern.
Where do miniature donkeys come from in the world?
Miniature donkeys are native to the Mediterranean islands of Sicily and Sardinia. They are identified as either Sicilian or Sardinian donkeys according to their ancestry, although the two types do not differ.
What kind of eyes does an ivory donkey have?
Ivory (creams) will have blue eyes and true pink skin, while FSW will have dark eyes, dark “eyeliner” and dark spotting on the skin. Another unusual variant of the spotting line is the “tyger spot” pattern. These donkeys vary from the typical large spots over the ears, eyes, and topline.
