Answer:
The biology of the Angiosperms makes them more successful than other plants because they have flower and fruit.
Explanation:
For a plant to be classified as an angiosperm, they have to have to be able to produce flowers and fruit. Their fruit must be enclosed within a carpel. A carpel consists of an ovary, a stigma, a style and is usually referred to as the female reproductive organ of the flower.
The flower of an Angiosperm ensures that there is:
- Pollination
- Protection for the ovule and the developing embryo.
Whilst the fruit of the Angiosperm ensure that there is:
- Protection for the seed during development
- Dispersal of the seed after development etc.
Coevolution refers to the mutual changes in two or more organisms or species which strongly impact the way they relate with each other.
It is often cited that angiosperms coevolved with pollinators which may be insects such as bees and butterflies.
The reason for this position is because the architecture of flowers of the angiosperms seems to have been structured for the mouthparts of most of the insects.
This further enhances the success of the angiosperms as they pollinate easily and provide nectar which serves as food for the insects. Nectar is a sugary liquid produced by the glands within flowers. It is the nectar that attracts the insects. As they reach out for the nectar, they collect pollen on which is transferred from one plant to another as they collect nectar.
