Statement 2: Both monoecious and dioecious plants have unisexual flowers.

• A. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
  
• B. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.
• C. Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is incorrect.
• D. Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both statements 1 and 2 are correct but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.

In flowering plants, the unisexual male flower is staminate and possess only active stamens while unisexual female flower is pitillate and possess only active pistils.
Some flowering plants, may possess both staminate and pistillate flowers in a single plant (monoecious) or in different plants (dioecious). So, both monoecious and dioecious plants have unisexual flowers.
hence both statements are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.
