Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of symmetry is exhibited by organisms in the phylum Porifera? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what phylum Porifera is. It includes simple organisms like sponges.
  • Step 2: Learn about symmetry in biology. Symmetry refers to how body parts are arranged.
  • Step 3: Identify the types of symmetry: bilateral (two equal halves), radial (around a central point), and asymmetry (no symmetry).
  • Step 4: Recognize that sponges do not have a specific shape or equal halves.
  • Step 5: Conclude that sponges exhibit asymmetry because their body structure is irregular.
