Question

Angiosperms bearing unisexual flowers are said to be either monoecious or dioecious. Explain with the help of one example each.

Answer 1

Answer:

Angiosperms bearing unisexual flowers can be dioecious if male and female flowers occur on separate plants. e.g., in date palm and papaya. However, in Cucurbita, plants bear unisexual male and female flowers which are present on same parent plant. Hence, it is monoecious.
