Geographical isolation can prevent the transfer of pollens among different plants. However, since the plants are self-pollinating, which means that the pollens are transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of the same flower or of another flower of the same plant, geographical isolation cannot prevent speciation in this case.

Does geographical isolation of individuals of a species lead to formation of a new species? Provide a suitable explanation.

Yes, geographical isolation gradually leads to genetic drift. This may impose limitations to sexual reproduction of the separated population. Slowly the separated individuals will reproduce among themselves and generate new...

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

Geographical isolation prevents gene flow between populations of a species whereas asexual reproduction generally involves only one individual. In an asexually reproducing organism, variations can occur only when the copying...

What is self-incompatibility? Why does self-pollination not lead to seed formation in self-incompatible species?

Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism in angiosperms that prevents self-pollination. It develops genetic incompatibility between individuals of the same species or between individuals of different species. The plants which exhibit...

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

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 out reproduction.
