The Naked Mole Rat Lacks a Circadian Rhythm of Activity

Multiple Choice

A) because naked mole rats live underground, they are not exposed to daily changes in light intensity and thus have no cues for the entrainment of a circadian rhythm.
B) the environment of the naked mole rat is such that queens and kings gain no reproductive advantage by having a sterile work force that is active on a 24-hour schedule.
C) naked mole rats are primitive mammals that do not have the sophisticated mechanisms that control circadian rhythms.
D) naked mole rats do not have the genetic information that would enable them to develop a brain capable of circadian rhythms.
