alleryBilateral symmetry in most animals likely helps with what?
AStaying fixed in place
BStreamlined forward motion
CFloating on open water
DStoring food for winter
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Streamlined forward motion
1. Most animals are bilaterally symmetric.
2. The likely reason is that a mirror-balanced body supports forward movement and streamlining.
3. Staying fixed, floating or storing food are not tied to bilateral symmetry.
