**Question:** Plane dividing a bilateral animal into mirror image halves:

- oblique plane
- midsagittal
- cross sectional
- radial plane
- frontal plane

**Explanation for Educational Context:** 

In the study of animal anatomy, various planes are used to describe locations and directions in which a body can be divided:

1. **Oblique Plane:** Cuts at an angle other than 90 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the body.
2. **Midsagittal Plane:** A vertical plane that divides the body into equal left and right halves, creating mirror images. This is the correct answer to the question.
3. **Cross Sectional (or Transverse) Plane:** Cuts across the body or organ perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, dividing it into upper and lower parts.
4. **Radial Plane:** Not a standard anatomical term; often used when describing radially symmetrical organisms.
5. **Frontal (or Coronal) Plane:** Divides the body into anterior and posterior (front and back) sections.
