Question

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

Answer 1

Geographical isolation is a major factor in the speciation of organisms that reproduce sexually because it interrupts with gene flow. ... However, geographical isolation may not have any effect in case of self-pollinating or asexually reproducing plant species as they do not depend on other organisms for reproduction.

Answer 2

No, geographical isolation will not be a major factor in the speciation of an organism that reproduces asexually because it does not require any other organism to carry our reproduction.
