    Bilateral symmetry is a basic body plan in which an organism or object can be divided into two equal halves along a single plane. This means that the left and right sides of the organism are mirror images of each other, with similar structures and functions existing in the same positions on both sides. Examples of bilaterally symmetrical organisms include humans, butterflies, and birds.
