Question

Willgeographical isolation be a major factor in the speciation of aself-pollinating plant species? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Geographicalisolation can prevent the transfer of pollens among different plants.However, since the plants are self-pollinating, which means that thepollens are transferred from theanther of one flower to the stigma of the same flower or of anotherflower ofthe same plant, geographical isolation cannot prevent speciation inthis case.
