Echinoderms exhibit radial<br />

symmetry as adults -<br />

but <strong>have</strong> a bilaterally<br />

symmetric larva<br />

Transform to pentaradial<br />

symmetry as they mature<br />

sea lilies) are sessile<br />

Bilateral larva thought to<br />

indicate that they originated<br />

from a bilaterally symmetric<br />

ancestor - original ancestor<br />

is uncertain
