Class Gastropoda and Class Bivalvia independently evolved modifications to their body plan that allowed them to invade sandy and muddy habitats, burying their bodies under the surface and accessing the surface via siphons. For an example organism in each Class, (1) draw a diagram showing the morphological modifications and (2) write a description of how this organism had evolved from the hypothetical ancestral mollusk (HAM) body plan.
