Which of the following describes how Lamarck would view this change in the chipmunk's body. Question 17 options: The chipmunk will undergo rapid speciation, followed by long periods of no speciation. The chipmunk will only pass on genetic information to it's offspring, and the environment will shape how they develop. The chipmunk will pass the acquired traits in it's body to it's offspring. If this chipmunk is better adapted to it's environment, it will be more likely to reproduce and pass on it's genes.
