What is a bivalve?
Bivalves are mollusks belonging to the class Bivalvia. They typically have two-part shells, with both valves being symmetrical along the hinge line. The class has 30,000 species, including scallops, clams, oysters and mussels. Other names for the class include Bivalva, Pelecypoda, and Lamellibranchia. Bivalves are exclusively aquatic; they include both marine and freshwater forms. However some, for instance the mussels, can survive out of water for short periods by closing their valves. Bivalves are unique among the mollusks for lacking a radula; they feed by siphoning and filtering large particles from water. Some bivalves are epifaunal: that is, they attach themselves to surfaces in the water, by means of a byssus or organic cementation. Others are infaunal: they bury themselves in sand or other sediments. These forms typically have a strong digging foot. Some bivalves, such as scallops, can swim.
What is the basis of classification of animals?
Animals are classified based on their physical characteristics, such as body structure, mode of reproduction, and genetic relationships. The primary basis of classification is the Linnaean system, which groups animals into hierarchical categories like kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. More modern classifications also consider evolutionary relationships and DNA analysis.
