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

• A. Both statement $1$ and $2$ are correct
• B. Statement $1$ is correct but statement $2$ is incorrect
• C. Statement $1$ is incorrect but statement $2$ is correct
• D. Both statement $1$ and $2$ are incorrect

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Statement $1$ is correct but statement $2$ is incorrect

In flowering plants, the unisexual male flower is staminate, i.e., bearing stamens, while the female flower is pistillate i.e., bearing pistils. In some flowering plants, both, and female may be present on same individual (monoecious) or on separate individuals (dioecious).

So, the correct option is 'Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect'.
