Question 2
Will geographical isolation be a major factor in the speciation of a self-pollinating plant
species? Why or why not?
Answer 2
In self-pollinating plant, the pollens are transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of the same flower or of another flower of the same plant. So, geographical isolation will not be a major factor in the speciation of a self-pollinating plant species.
Question 3
Will geographical isolation be a major factor in the speciation of an organism that
reproduces asexually? Why or why not?
Answer 3
Asexual reproduction requires only one organism to produce and variations can occur only when the copying of DNA is not accurate. Therefore, geographical isolation will not be a major factor in the speciation of an organism that reproduces asexually.
