uneven distribution of features or structures in biology

Asymmetry refers to the lack of equality or equivalence between parts or aspects of something. In biology, it often describes the uneven distribution of features or structures, such as when one side of the body or a specific organ differs from the other. For example, in the context of hair loss (alopecia), asymmetry might be observed if hair thinning or bald patches are more pronounced on one side of the scalp compared to the other.
