Solution

The pea plant is bisexual or monoecious, as the male and female sex organs are present on the same plant and hence self-pollination is possible and as a result, seeds can be produced.
The papaya plant, on the other hand, is dioecious, i.e. male and female sex organs are present on different plants, and to reproduce, cross-pollination is a must.
Thus, when only a single plant is present, there will be no pollination hence, no fruit and seed.
