WILL GEOGRAPHICAL ISOLATION BE A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE SPECIATION OF A SELF POLLINATING PLANT SPECIES?WHY OR WHY NOT?

No. This is because in cross pollinated species, when geographically isolated there will be more accumulation of variations. But in self pollinated species geographical isolation will not be a major factor for speciation because new genes do not enter the population.
