Answer:the part of the brain that has most likely been damaged in this experiment is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) found in the hypothalamus of the brain.

Explanation:

circadian rhythms are behavioural changes that respond to light and darkness in an organisms environment. The sleep-inducing wake cycle is a good example of a circadian rhythm. In the experiment, the disruption of the mouse SCN led to development of imbalances in the circadian rhythm of sleep and wake cycle leading to falling asleep and waking up at random times of the day and night. I hope this helps. Thanks

If all cells have the same DNA how do they become different types of cells?​
beks73 [17]
Cells are made of the same DNA but they can have different functions. It depends on where they are in your body; each of them have a separate job. There are different types of cells. Apparently, for a cell to work...1000 proteins must be made.
