Bilateral symmetry

Picture 41 - This is a picture of a leaf. When looked at vertically it is the same exact design on both sides. This leaf was found in my aunt's house. It's a house plant. I don't know what it's called.

Picture 42 - This is another leaf that possesses bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry is when a body design has the right and left halves mirroring each other and have the same images. A bilaterally symmetrical body plan has a top and a bottom, known as the dorsal and ventral portions of the body.
