(omg, your in high school, but I'm in middle school but I have this same question lol.)
There would be an advantage for flowers that attract only one type of pollinator and excude others because the flower could be harmed by the pollinator. The flower could have a natural defense against certain species of animals to avoid things like getting completely eaten or getting a virus from an infected species. The disadvantage would be that some species that the flower needs might avoid the flower because of natural defense.
I hope this helps! Sorry if it doesn't because I'm only in middle school.
If a plant has a specific pollinator, a good relationship evolves between the plant and the insect. If the plant becomes extinct, the plant also becomes extinct.
Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of a flower. It is normally carried out by the agents of pollination such as wind, insects etc.
If a flower only has a specific pollinator, it is much easier for the plant to be pollinated because the pollinator evolves a good relationship with the plant.
However, if that specific pollinator happens to become extinct, that plant also becomes extinct because there will be no other pollinator for the plant specie.
