The fuzzy millipede, Polyxenus fasciculatus, is found in Texas and is preyed upon by most species of ants. To protect itself against the ants, it ejects fibers from a tuft located at the tail
end of its body. The tufts have hooks at the tips and barbs along their length that lock and
interlink with the ant's setae, small hairs that cover the body of the ant. When an ant attacks,
the millipede flexes its back end toward the ant and wipes the tufts against it. As the ant
attempts to remove the tufts, it entangles itself more, becoming immobilized.

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.
