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

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

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 of $DNA$ is not accurate. Therefore, geographical isolation cannot prevent the formation of new species in an asexually reproducing organism.
