match each term to the correct definition.
vertebrate
radial symmetry
asymmetry
invertebrate
bilateral symmetry
an animal without a backbone
a body plan that lacks symmetry
a body plan made of two equal halves that mirror each other
an animal with a backbone
a body plan that is organized around a central point

Explanation:

Each term is matched to its standard biological definition:

1. Vertebrates are defined as animals possessing a backbone.
2. Radial symmetry describes a body plan organized around a central axis/ point.
3. Asymmetry refers to a body plan with no symmetry.
4. Invertebrates are animals that do not have a backbone.
5. Bilateral symmetry is a body plan that can be divided into two mirror-image equal halves.

Answer:

• vertebrate → an animal with a backbone
• radial symmetry → a body plan that is organized around a central point
• asymmetry → a body plan that lacks symmetry
• invertebrate → an animal without a backbone
• bilateral symmetry → a body plan made of two equal halves that mirror each other
