Is Jeremy the Squirrel a Left-Coiling Snail?
The offspring of Jeremy the snail, under many thousands of snails that we raised since then, none of them were left coiling. We needed to breed several generations of snails to show or to test whether it was an inherited condition. And everything indicated that it was not an inherited condition that made Jeremy the snail a left-coiling snail. So, you know, in a sense that's quite a disappointing result for me as a geneticist. But as a consequence of the media, all around Jeremy the snail,. we have since got some French snails of the same type and they are producing left coiling offspring.
