What kind of symmetry does gastropoda have?
Some well known gastropods, which are mollusks, are snails and slugs, and they exhibit what is known as BILATERAL SYMMETRY. The only other kind of symmetry that exists in the animal kingdom, with the exception of colonial species such as the sponge, is RADIAL SYMMETRY. This second type is exhibited by starfish, for example. Cephalopods, another type of mollusk, may appear to be radially symmetric, but are actually bilaterally symmetric due to the composition of their cephalic (head) region.
