14. Nematode Life Cycle Matching: Match each of the descriptions below with the correct nematode worm species (A-D). Note that some descriptions may not apply to any of the 4 species (in which case just write “none") and some descriptions may apply to multiple worms species (in which case write the letters of all applicable species). (A) Dirofilaria (heartworms) (B) Dracunculus (Guinea worm) (C) Ascaris (D) Hookworms 1. Life cycle includes only a single host 2. The infective stage is a free-living larva that can enter the skin directly 3. On target to become the first parasite-caused human disease to be eradicated 4. Has an arthropod intermediate host 5. Traditional treatment involves winding the female worm around a matchstick 6. Infections can be prevented by not defecating on soill improving sanitation of soil 7. Female lays eggs around the anus of the host 8. Produce microfilaria that circulate in the blood 9. Has multiple larval stages and a snail intermediate host 10. Migrate…

How humans learn and remember things is still one of the major unsolvedbiological mysteries. Much of what is currently understood about learning andmemory and the biological basis of behaviour comes from the study ofinvertebrates, including the gastropod molluscs. Describe the types ofexperiments that have been performed on gastropods and the extent to whicheach has increased our understanding of how animals learn.
