Start with the P generation with the following genotypes (AA x aa). Based on classical Mendelian inheritance, how will a cross between two homozygous parents, one dominant and one recessive, influence future generations phenotype and genotype?
What is the F1 generation will show the dominant phenotype however, they will have heterozygous genotypes? This can increase genetic variation.

Squirrels and other small mammals near Arizona's Grand Canyon are shown to have experienced speciation. Two populations of antelope squirrels that were originally a single species became separated by the canyon. Presently, these squirrel populations represent two different species: the white-tailed antelope squirrel inhabits the north side of Arizona's Grand Canyon, and the closely related Harris's antelope squirrel can be found on the south side of the canyon. Explain why the antelope squirrels experienced speciation
The squirrels on each side of the canyon were no longer able to breed with the squirrels on the other side of the canyon.
