Question

Will geographical isolation be a major factor in speciation of an organism that reproduces asexually? Why or why not?​

Answer 1

Geographical isolation of an asexually reproducing organism does not help in speciation because the reproduction occurs by somatic parts like floral buds, stem, leaves or roots of the parental plants and only miotic cell divisions are involved.

Answer 2

No, geographical isolation is not a major factor in speciation of an organism that reproduces asexually.

In case of asexually producing organisms , only single parent is required to give birth to young one.

Thus geographical isolation is not a major factor As asexual reproduction is carried out within the same organism, resulting organism in next generation will have identical copies of DNA, so there will be very less genetic variant to be a cause of the speciation of an organism.
