A slight change in a plant species' flower structure might favor a different pollinator. How might such a change in flower structure lead to a new plant species? How does coevolution between flowering plants and animal pollinators help explain the huge diversity of angiosperms?
Why are angiosperms so diverse (when compared with non-flowering lineages of plants)? To answer this, think about how expensive flowers are to produce for the plant (they cost lots of ATP to make); what benefit do they provide the plant?

How do angiosperms differ from gymnosperms? How are the two groups of plants similar?
