Externet Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Somehow, never considered morphology on a snail being right or left, irrelevant, not to pay attention.

Phi for All Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 https://phys.org/news/2009-11-rightleft-handedness-snails-lab.html Quote Snail shell spirals are often used as examples of chirality. The direction of the spiral is important because the sexual organs are twisted, which makes it difficult for snails to mate unless their handedness matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
