Vertical plane dividing an organism into left and right sides
A
Transverse
B
Sagittal
C
Frontal
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The median plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into equal right and left halves, and any vertical plane that is parallel to the median plane is known as the sagittal plane. The coronal plane is a plane that separates the body into anterior and posterior parts and is sometimes known as the ‘frontal plane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sagittal Plane (Lateral Plane)-A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body or any of its parts into right and left sides.

Detailed explanation-3: -A standing vertebrate animal can be divided by several planes. A sagittal plane divides the body into right and left portions. A midsagittal plane divides the body exactly in the middle, making two equal right and left halves. A frontal plane (also called a coronal plane) separates the front from the back.

Detailed explanation-4: -A sagittal plane, also known as the longitudinal plane, is perpendicular to the ground and divides the body into left and right.

Detailed explanation-5: -The sagittal plane (/ˈsædʒɪtəl/; also known as the longitudinal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into right and left sections. It is perpendicular to the transverse and coronal planes.
