A scientist collects wild rabbits that live at sea level and moves them to the mountains. One year later, the scientist discovers that the same rabbits have larger lungs, which help them breathe the thin mountain air. The scientist returns the rabbits to sea level. Will the offspring of the rabbits have larger-than-normal lungs? Explain.

No, because the offspring of the rabbits will not need large lungs to breathe the air at sea level.
