• Abstract

  Achatina fulica or giant African snail is a terrestrial mollusk originary from East Africa, and spread out nearly in the whole world. These snails are hermaphrodite and reproduce by cross fertilization and can be mutually receptive on this reproductive way. One fertilized specimen can lay viable eggs even after months of estivation. Longevity of those specimens can be around 5 or 6 years …

• Abstract

  Cell lineages of two morphs of Lymnaea stagnalis will be analyzed to test whether the reversal of left-right polarity by itself alters later morphogenesis. In Lymnaea stagnalis, the dextral morph is the wild type, and the sinistral morph is a genetic mutant. It has been observed that the mortality of sinistrals is higher than that of dextrals, even though they share the same genomic backg…
