ADVERTISEMENTS:
Self-fertilization, parthenogenesis,
pseudogamy, vegetative
reproduction, are some forms of
uniparental reproduction that do
not fulfill the criteria of
interbreeding. As per definition, a
population is an interbreeding
group, and, therefore, the term
population in “an asexual
biological population” is a
contradiction.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
These are:
It is undoubtedly inappropriate to
call all morphologically distinct
population a species. On the other
hand, the isolating mechanisms
between any two species may
occasionally break down. No
generalized solution is possible
when morphological divergence
and acquisition of reproductive
isolation do not coincide. In these
cases, the specialist should delimit
his species in such a way that they
form biologically meaningful,
natural entities.
