Speciation is the formation of new species from the pre-existing population.
Factors responsible for speciation:
(i) Genetic drift
(ii) Geographical isolation
(iii) Natural selection
(iv) Mutation
Geographical isolation cannot be a major factor in the speciation of a self pollinating plant species because physical barrier cannot be created in self-pollinating plants.
