Question

In unisexual flowers, there is

• A. No need of bagging
• B. No need of emasculation
• C. No need of pollination
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

• Unisexual flowers are those which have either stamens or carpels, but not both.
• A plant may be unisexual or dioecious i.e it only has male flowers or female flowers.
• Emasculation is the process of removal of the anther from bisexual flowers without affecting the female reproductive part (pistil)
• Bagging is a technique in which an emasculated flower is covered to avoid contamination by unwanted pollen grains.
• Thus, in unisexual flower both emasculation and bagging is not required.
