Briefly describe characteristics of the hypothetical ancestral mollusc, and tell how each class of molluscs (Caudofoveata, Solenogastres, Polyplacophora, Monoplacophora, Gastropoda, Cephalopoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda) differs from the ancestral condition with respect to each of the following: shell, radula, foot, mantle cavity and gills, circulatory system, and head.

What features made it difficult for biologists to recognize echiurans,
sipunculans, and siboglinids as members of Annelida?
How humans learn and remember things is still one of the major unsolved
biological mysteries. Much of what is currently understood about learning and
memory and the biological basis of behaviour comes from the study of
invertebrates, including the gastropod molluscs. Describe the types of
experiments that have been performed on gastropods and the extent to which
each has increased our understanding of how animals learn.
