Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of symmetry do adult echinoderms exhibit?
A
Asymmetry
B
Pentaradial symmetry
C
Bilateral symmetry
D
Trilateral symmetry
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The echinoderms have a radially arranged, pentamerous body structure that is very different from the bilateral body structure of the related deuterostome phyla, the hemichordates and the chordates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pentaradial symmetry is a type of radial symmetry, which is a characteristic of echinoderms, in which body parts are arranged along five rays of symmetry. It means the organism is in five parts around a central axis.

Detailed explanation-3: -One characteristic of an echinoderm is that they all have pentamerous radial symmetry. This simply means they all have 5 equal body parts. You can divide these animals into five equal parts, and every part is the same. For example, most sea stars have five arms or a multiple of five arms.
