    A.) Bilateral Symmetry: A Symmetry in Which: Patterns and Regularities

    Uploaded by

    Nel Bornia
    This document discusses different patterns found in nature, including symmetry, fractals, and spirals. It provides examples of bilateral symmetry in animals and plants. Radial symmetry is discussed and examples given like sea anemones and jellyfish. Fractals are defined as never-ending patterns found in nature that repeat themselves at different scales, like trees, lightning, and river systems. Spirals are also discussed as patterns found in nature, with examples like pine cones, pineapples, and hurricanes. The document examines various types of patterns commonly seen in the natural world.

    a.) Bilateral Symmetry: a symmetry in which
    the left and right sides of the organism can
    be divided into approximately mirror image
    of each other along the midline. Symmetry
    exists in living things such as in insects,
    animals, plants, flowers and others. Animals
    have mainly bilateral or vertical symmetry,

    2. FRACTALS – a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the
    same statistical character as the whole. A fractal is a never-ending pattern
    found in nature. The exact same shape is replicated in a process called
    “self-similarity.” The pattern repeats itself over and over again at different
    scales. For example, a tree grows by repetitive branching. This same kind
    of branching can be seen in lightning bolts and the veins in your body.
    Examine a single fern or an aerial view of an entire river system and you’ll
    see fractal patterns.

    3. SPIRALS - A logarithmic spiral or growth spiral is a self-similar spiral


    curve which often appears in nature. It was first described by Rene
    Descartes and was later investigated by Jacob Bernoulli. A spiral is a
    curved pattern that focuses on a center point and a series of circular
    shapes that revolve around it. Examples of spirals are pine cones,
    pineapples, hurricanes. The reason for why plants use a spiral form is
    because they are constantly trying to grow but stay secure.
