Phasic receptors:
a. are quick to adapt to a particular stimulus intensity.
b. slowly decrease the frequency of action potentials generated to a constant stimulus.
c. are attune to parameters that the body must continuously assess.
d. once threshold is reached by a stimulus will always generate action potentials.
e. change their sensitivity in phases going from slow to fast.

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.
