Chapter 36, Problem 1CQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The consequences if the overall plant architecture was bilaterally symmetric.
Introduction: In animals, tissues are organized such that they display different levels of symmetry. Symmetry is determined by the body axis. Organisms could be asymmetric, bilaterally symmetric, radially symmetric, biradially symmetric or spherically symmetric.
