Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

In case of an asexually reproducing organism, geographical isolation cannot be a major factor in speciation because meiosis does not take place during asexual reproduction. Hence there are very rare chances of variation and without variation, there cannot be speciation.

Answer 2

Answer:

In case of an asexually reproducing organism, geographical isolation cannot be a major factor in speciation because meiosis does not take place during asexual reproduction. Hence there are very rare chances of variation and without variation, there cannot be speciation.
