Explanation:
Factors that lead to speciation include genetic drift, natural selection, geographical isolation, mutation. Geographical isolation is not a major factor in the speciation of a self-pollinating plant species as pollination occurs between the reproductive organs of the same flower.

Factors responsible for speciation.
Explanation:
- Speciation is the process of formation of new species from existing species.
- It means splitting of species into two or more genetically distinct species.
- It is of two types Allopatric and sympatric.
- There are five main factors responsible for speciation.
- Geographical isolation - barriers like rivers, deserts ,mountains etc seperate species into several groups , it is the most significant causes of speciation.
- Genetic drift- change in pattern of gene flow,also non-adaptive mutations play a vital role in forming new species.
- Natural selection - Newly formed species passes their characters on to their future offsprings.
- Reproductive isolation- Organisms lose the ability to reproduce and create a different kind of species.
- Hybridisation - production of new species by artificial process.
