Question

what is one evolutionary advantage angiosperms have over gymnosperms? angiosperms have flowers that attract organisms like insects, which aid in fertilization. angiosperms grow in high altitudes where the wind helps disperse gametes like pollen. angiosperms conserve resources by not producing seeds.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Angiosperms produce flowers that act as specialized structures to attract pollinators such as insects, birds, and bats. This targeted pollination method is more efficient than the wind-dependent pollination of most gymnosperms, increasing the likelihood of successful fertilization and genetic diversity. The other options are incorrect: gymnosperms also grow in high altitudes with wind pollination, and angiosperms do produce seeds (enclosed in fruits, unlike gymnosperm naked seeds).

Answer:

Angiosperms have flowers that attract organisms like insects, which aid in fertilization.
