He mentioned the mechanical advantages of being symmetrical. But most importantly, if you have a front and back end(head, tail), it is easier for DNA to repeat instructions laterally on both sides of the bilateral line, because, during cell division, it will take much more energy and time to duplicate a longer DNA strand for a non symmetric organism without any errors. As long as DNA can label where the front and back are facing so that arms or legs are not placed backwards, cell growing patterns in embryology become more straightforward. For those reasons, it is an advantageous adaptation because energy conservation can be used towards other adaptations which means greater fitness. It is also important for the outer layer of an organism to be symmetrical along with teeth.
Having finished biology degree. Bilateral symmetry of mammals is generally external. Once you counted internal organs. The arrangement is not equal left and right.
Nicholas Wright rocket ships are engineering and not physics. Though they use Physics in Engineering. Most importantly the shape is taken from biological objects like the rocket ship is taken from fish and birds etc.
Bloxy Bloxington i ... wow i don’t even remember this video or this comment. A lot can happen in 4 years. You probably don’t care but i granduated high school and now i’m a first year med student. But anyways, thanks stranger. Your reply made me reflect. :)
I remember the episode of cyber chase where they talk about symmetry. You forgot about slide symmetry which mainly implies to long things like fences and combs
Genetics are even more important than symmetry in figuring out the tree of life. Similar phenotypic characteristics can pop up in separate places totally on their own. Symmetries are important to understand in phylogeny if there is some sort of discrepancy in genetic lineage, but it is supplementary information, more than anything else, in determining the tree of life. The beginning of the video veered off course into biology rather than sticking to a discussion of symmetries in all subjects, and made conclusions that, although correct, are not thoroughly discussed in respect to all other subjects.
I like the idea. But how does the definition of symmetry work with bilateral symmetry ? Is it transformation of reflection or something ? Anyway the definition is new to me and it is intriguing too.
Symmetry is not only in biology but it is found in the whole universe. From an atom to the biggest galaxies, all have some kind of symmetry involved and if you are smart enough to visualize this then I am sure you will find symmetry everywhere. Physics is arguably all about symmetry!
Well isnt this explanation wrong according to set theory since only rotation by 360 or 0 degrees is considered an identity under the triangle symmetry group.
Yes, because you still have the same ancestral genes and morphology that gave you your bilateral symmetry. And even if you were born with such deformities you're still the offspring of your respective group. That's taxonomy in a nutshell.
Remember that the bilateral symmetry is only approximate. Even if you have everything intact, you'll still have spots, scars or other features on one side of your body that aren't present on the other.
may I suggest to read some Richard Dawkins' book to understand why we are bilateral and no, say, 90° rotational symmetric...; basically it's a matter of economy. it's better , as a fish, to differentiate a head from a tail (like they said in the video), it's good also to differentiate an top part from a bottom part (this simmetry is broken by gravity that pulls in the vertical direction) but there would be no gain in differentiating left from right... therefore evolution lead to an economy by having left and right look the same.
All life on earth started in the oceans with an offset in gravitational pull from Spring Tides (FULL/DARK MOON) to Neap Tide (QUARTER MOONS) so it would of began there. ALL life on earth is related and came from shared ancestory in the ocean.
Raul Pinto symmetry arose before there were animals. It's perfectly normal for a species consisting of very few cells to do this. Once the genes were set up to be used multiple times, any change to it affected both sides. If it wasn't useful, it could disappear. If it was, it stayed. It's not ridiculous, you just don't seem to like it.
the logic of biologists attempting to apply symmetry to an evolutionary tree of life makes them sound crazier than conspiracy theorists. It's quite appropriate that this video explains its science on a stage in a theater. A place where all works of fiction can call home
Ahaha, those animations. Does anybody know why mathematicians have such a developed interests in symtrestrys? Especially in regards to really abstract things?
The title should be called....Nothing...shouldn't be a title or this video...starfish....that should like make you be like...whaaaaaa...but the science travelers just believe...because it makes sense...sigh💀

The title should be the biology of symmetry.
Yeah, I was thinking they'd go into physics of rocket ships and such
Nicholas Wright rocket ships are engineering and not physics. Though they use Physics in Engineering. Most importantly the shape is taken from biological objects like the rocket ship is taken from fish and birds etc.
there was a bit of mathematics in it.
Eh? Biology is science and fall into the sub-category Natural-Science.
Yeah I was thinking Noether's Theorem and maybe group theory, but it was mostly Biology
am i the only one who actually enjoyed the video? xD for someone studying for her bio exam for hours i thought this was somewhat enjoyable lol.
Yea your the only one

@@prinishaa1073 Thank you :)
How u doing buddy
@@Hehe123wowwwww im a senior now ;) thanks for asking!
expecting more math, turns out it's more like biology
I think this is my favorite TED narrator.
i thought we were going to get into quantum mechanics
Foxes and butterflies ain't got nothing on Schrodinger's cat. It isn't just bilaterally symmetrical, it's SUPER symmetrical.
Yeah

Interesting talk, but STOP DANCING DAMNIT!
I agree
It’s so distracting
It's so true
it looks more like stimming
Sorry, i could only think of "Dumb Ways To Die" video.
I remember the episode of cyber chase where they talk about symmetry. You forgot about slide symmetry which mainly implies to long things like fences and combs
Those animations were great.
Knowledge (singing note) , awesome, how a topic(excerpt) like this just hits you out of nowhere
“Some Carls don’t exhibit any symmetry at all” I love this accent DEEPLY
It is useful

When I hear Symmetry I hear: Gurl u getting an A+ on this Test! 😂😂😂
Don Corleone wat
My only issue here is that a lot of those rotationally symmetrical organisms that you said were less related, are also bilaterally symmetric.
I like the idea. But how does the definition of symmetry work with bilateral symmetry ? Is it transformation of reflection or something ? Anyway the definition is new to me and it is intriguing too.
The transformation is reflection in that case
The animation of this video is so nice! way better than mine :)
Awesome animation on this one.
I know some people HATE it when others say this about them, but:
I love his accent. :)
4:40 the way u said "when reminds me of hot rod whiskey scene xD
Symmetry is not only in biology but it is found in the whole universe. From an atom to the biggest galaxies, all have some kind of symmetry involved and if you are smart enough to visualize this then I am sure you will find symmetry everywhere. Physics is arguably all about symmetry!
Have not you seen the asymmetric creature in the video ? It means asymmetry also exist.
Well isnt this explanation wrong according to set theory since only rotation by 360 or 0 degrees is considered an identity under the triangle symmetry group.
That fox is so damn hilarious haha
Gotta love his accent
Are you bilaterally symmetric if you missing an arm or for example have a deformed eye?
Yes, because you still have the same ancestral genes and morphology that gave you your bilateral symmetry. And even if you were born with such deformities you're still the offspring of your respective group. That's taxonomy in a nutshell.
yes and no. to the universe you would be but to someone you wouldn't be. since we prefer symmetrical faces and bodies.
Remember that the bilateral symmetry is only approximate. Even if you have everything intact, you'll still have spots, scars or other features on one side of your body that aren't present on the other.

Why Segmented Worms is not Radial symmetry???
Thank you for this helpful information
My favorite one yet!
besides,ofc, from the huge amount of symmetry in physics xD
The title should be "Symmetry and Evolution of Humans."
very nice animation!!!
what is difference between radial and biradial symmetry ?
nice explanation
( What's with the dancing? xD )
Great video!
Poor Triangle!
How dare you do that to that poor triangle
How did they get a tree in the schoolplay? Was it dropped through the roof?
+Thomas stampe Brock It's probably a cardboard cutout or a wall mural with real branches sticking out of it that were glued there.
Am i the only one who was reminded of silence of the lambs by the thumbnail ?
This video doesn't mention biradial symmetry.
Thanks I understood well 👍🏻
what are the function of biletral symmetry plzz answer me fast
this should be a real stage play
Poor Colm Kelleher. Everyone is hating on his TED talk.
It's safe too say Death The Kid would have a heart attack seeing that coral and not being able to fix it somehow.
*Eats my symmetry
Me:I hate symmetry
Great video on symmetry
The animations are so cute!
All life on earth started in the oceans with an offset in gravitational pull from Spring Tides (FULL/DARK MOON) to Neap Tide (QUARTER MOONS) so it would of began there.
ALL life on earth is related and came from shared ancestory in the ocean.
The animation of this motley crew looks funny.
the title should be dancing symmetry
This is so adorable
great video. learnt alot

You gotta make a movie about that.
Colt Engineer You haven't been caught yet.
I still don't get how symmetry is a product of evolution..?
It's quite easy to get actually. When there's already genes for one half, the other can easily be derived from it.
Raul Pinto symmetry arose before there were animals. It's perfectly normal for a species consisting of very few cells to do this. Once the genes were set up to be used multiple times, any change to it affected both sides. If it wasn't useful, it could disappear. If it was, it stayed.

Am I the only one who expected biology more than geometry here?
This so reminded me of death the kid from soul eater
What in heck is that shark doing at 4:38?
Ahaha, those animations.
Does anybody know why mathematicians have such a developed interests in symtrestrys? Especially in regards to really abstract things?
so like how humans have two ears, two arms, two legs, two feet?
i'd totally watch that play
deja vu
What's super-symmetry?
Google is your friend
With this video I felt like a little girl at the school
am not sure about his accent. scotland? nah Indian?
アニメが最高w
The animation is awesome!
Their bodies are not really designed for something, you know (3'31)
Thank you
Kid loves this video!
Group theory 💀
What kind of music are those animals dancing? Lol
amazing!!
Good sir
Death the kid needs to watch this video
everyone is dancing but there so bad XD
Thats an interesting accent!
The title should be called....Nothing...shouldn't be a title or this video...starfish....that should like make you be like...whaaaaaa...but the science travelers just believe...because it makes sense...sigh💀
Why everyone is dancing 😁
Why do i think the speaker is Irish ? Maybe it's the accent. Did anyone else feel that ?
Cool video
Am I the only one who noticed that it is left shark?
And to top things off....where's my car...
Nice observation Sherlock...
Great
It is magnificent
IRISH ACCENTS

Who else is here for school? :P
Who else is watching this because of online school

Where did they dig this cultchie up from? Hahahahaha!
Was expecting some mathematics 🤔
Tienen azogue!
I didn't understand most of the video :(
I still don't get why it's important ..
im scard of the volcano
they should talk about physics instead, which is much more closely related to symmetry
