Why did Elizabeth Clare and her team use a group of naked mole rats that had been in one room for many generations in their study?

a
The DNA would have built up in the air during the time they had been there.
b
The DNA would have spread out and been more difficult to obtain.
c
Naked mole rats are special because they do not have DNA.

The correct answer is: b The DNA would have spread out and been more difficult to obtain.

Using a group of naked mole rats that had been in one room for many generations would help ensure that their DNA is more easily obtainable and relevant for the study, as opposed to a more dispersed or mixed population.
