Bilaterally Symmetrical
Describes organisms with body structures that are mirror images on either side of a central axis, common in many animals, including humans.
Evolutionary Trend
A pattern or direction of evolution where a species undergoes gradual changes over time, often resulting in increased complexity or specialization.
