Solution

No, geographical isolation is not a major factor in the formation of new species of seIf-pollinated plants. This is because selfpollinated p|ants receive pollen grains from the same flower or another flower on the same plant and its distance from other p|ants hard|y affects its reproduction. Moreover, self-pollinated p|ants rarely show variations in characters.
