Question

Monoecious plants are:

• A. If both male and female reproductive structures are present but flowers are bisexual.
• B. If both male and female reproductive structures are present on the same plant but flowers are unisexual.
• C. If both gynoecium and androecium are present in same flower.
• D. If both male and female reproductive structures are present on different plants but the flowers are unisexual.

Answer 1

The correct option is B If both male and female reproductive structures are present on the same plant but flowers are unisexual.

Monoecious plants are those which contain male and female reproductive organs (stamens and pistil) in different unisexual flowers but on the same plant. Unisexual flowers are those which possess either male reproductive organ (stamens) or female reproductive organs (pistil).

So, the correct answer is option 'B'.
