Question 3:
Will geographical isolation be a major factor in the speciation of an organism that
reproduces asexually? Why or why not?
Answer:
Geographical isolation prevents gene flow between populations of a species where
as 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.
