A nocturnal animal in constant darkness has FRP = 24.5 with activity onset at noon today. If we add a light pulse today that will produce a 1-hour delay according to the phase response curve, when will the activity start tomorrow? a) 1pm b) noon c) 12:30 pm d) 1:30pm
Added by Larry S.
Step 1
We are given that the nocturnal animal has a free-running period (FRP) of 24.5 hours and its activity onset is at noon today. We are also told that a light pulse will cause a 1-hour delay in the activity onset according to the phase response curve. Show more…

If an animal sees light earlier than expected on the basis of a circadian rhythm, $a$. it could cause symptoms of jet lag. $b$, it could phase-advance the circadian rhythm. $c$. the animal could be east of home. $d$. it could entrain the animal's circadian rhythm. $e$ all of the above
