[Campbell Biology P.749] Which of the following statements about gastropods is INCORRECT? | Practice Question
Which of the following statements about gastropods is INCORRECT?
A: All gastropods possess a spiraled shell for protection.
B: Gastropods can be found in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats.
C: The radula of gastropods is primarily used for feeding on algae and plants, but can be modified for predation.
D: Gastropods move slowly by a rippling motion of their foot or cilia.
Explanation
While most gastropods possess a spiraled shell, some, like sea slugs nudibranchs , have lost their shells during evolution. Therefore, the statement that 'all gastropods possess a spiraled shell' is incorrect.
