Question

Will geographical isolation be a major factor in the speciation of an organism that reproduces asexually? Give reason for your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

No, geographical isolation will not be the major factor in the speciation of asexually reproducing organisms. This is because there is no exchange of genetic material with the other species in such organisms. They pass on the parent DNA to the offspring which leaves no chance of speciation.

Answer 2

No, Asexually reproducing organisms have very little variation over generations as .

But these variations are very few and are not capable of giving rise to a new species
