Ridge gourd,bitter gourd, bottle gourd have unisexual flowers - True

A unisexual flowers is that where flowers either have a male or female reproductive organs

In the "gourd genus", the flowers of the plant are "unisexual", producing "male stamens or female pistils", but not both. Individual plants can be "monoecious" depending on the species & have "unisexual flowers" of both "sexes/dioecious", indicating that only "one sex" is represented on the plant.

Explanation:

  • Unisexual flowers are those in which both male & female form flowers on different plants. A "unisexual" flower is one that does not have the functionality of the stamens or carpels. Each flora is either "staminate" (only having stamens") or "male" or "carpellate" (or "pistillate") (only having "carpels"), and therefore "female"
  • Cross-pollination is required to reproduce in the case of unisexual flowers. There must also be a transfer of pollen grains of male flower to the stigma of the female flower's stigma .
  • The ovule in the ovary of the flower is fertilised after the pollen is transmitted in the female flower, leading to the formation of embryos (inside seeds) and fruit growth. When suitable conditions are given, the seeds contained in the fruit will give birth to offspring.
