Will geographical isolation be a major factor in the speciation of a self-pollinating plant species? Why or why not?  

Answer:

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