Solution

Dioecious plant

  1. Dioecious plants have male and female reproductive parts on different plants.
  2. Because male and female flowers are found on different plants, papaya are dioecious.
  3. Each plant is either male or female.
  4. As gametes from both male and female flowers are needed for sexual reproduction, a cross pollination is necessary.
