question 1
what advantages do animal pollination bring to angiosperms that might explain the dominance of these relative newcomers among the plants?

Explanation:

Animal - pollination is more targeted and efficient than wind - pollination. Animals can be attracted by flower rewards like nectar and pollen, and they transfer pollen directly from one flower to another of the same species, increasing the chances of successful fertilization. It also promotes genetic diversity as animals may travel long distances and transfer pollen between different populations.

Answer:

Animal - pollination is more targeted and efficient, increasing fertilization success and promoting genetic diversity.
