Best Answer

Slugs are Mollusks that have lost their shell. Though hermaphroditic (both sexes in the one animal), they stilll need sexual conjunction with another of their kind to become fertilized. [Wasn't that delicately put?] They both exchange material.

The mollusks are important in evolution, for they invented what becomes the skeleton. With a shell, one now has a rigid piece to which one may form muscular attachment.

In closing, you might look up apophallation in a Biology engine or text - a problem that slugs occasionally have.

What animal produces few eggs and what animal produces numerous eggs?

Animals that take care of their young produce fewer eggs. e.g. crocodiles. Animals that leave their young to fend for themselves produce numerous eggs. e.g. fish. This is an energy balance. You spend little energy to produce eggs, but spend more energy taking care of your offspring. Conversely, you can spend lots of energy producing many eggs and spend little energy thereafter. It's a numbers game.
