SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 45

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Bilateral.

Arthropods exhibit bilateral symmetry. This means that their bodies can be divided by a single plane into two identical, or mirror-image, left and right halves. 🪲

Bilateral symmetry is a body plan where an organism can be divided into two equal parts along a central line. This type of symmetry allows for a streamlined body shape and the development of a distinct head region, called cephalization, where sensory organs and a brain are concentrated. This arrangement is advantageous for movement and actively seeking food, as it allows the animal to move forward efficiently. Examples of arthropods with this symmetry include insects, crustaceans, spiders, and centipedes.
