What is the species with male and female flowers on the same plant?
The species with male and female flowers on the same plant is known as monoecious. Common examples include corn (Zea mays) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus). In these plants, male flowers typically produce pollen, while female flowers develop into fruit when fertilized. This adaptation allows for efficient pollination and reproduction within a single organism.
Is cucumber unisexual or bisexual?
Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) are typically considered to be monoecious plants, meaning they produce both unisexual male and female flowers on the same plant. The male flowers usually appear first, followed by female flowers, which, if pollinated, develop into cucumbers. This adaptation allows for self-pollination as well as cross-pollination.
What are the male and female sexual organs of the flower?
These types of flowers are known as an imperfect flower with either fertile male or fertile female organs, but not both, on the same flower. Spruce, pines, ash and maples have imperfect flowers. Going further to complete the picture plants with imperfect flowers are either monoecious or dioecious. Monoecious plants have both male and female flowers on the same plant. That is, if you go to a particular monoecious plant you will find male flowers and you will also find female flowers. In contrast, dioecious plants have male and female flowers on separate plants. If you look at a particular dionecious plant, you will find either male flower or female flowers but not both. Corn, cucumber and other vines are monoecious; ash, maples, buffalo-berry, some junipers and aspargus are dioecious.
Why maize plant is described as monoecious?
The maize plant is described as monoecious because it has separate male and female flowers on the same plant. The male flowers are found in the tassel at the top of the plant, while the female flowers are found in the ear or corn at lower nodes. This characteristic allows maize plants to self-pollinate and produce seeds.
Flower is a male or female?
Flowers can be male, female or both. If the flowers have male and female structures they are said to be perfect. Imperfect flowers have either male or female reproductive structures. If a plant has male and female flowers on one plant it is said to be monoecious (which means "one house"). Squash and corn plants are monoecious. If the male and female flowers are on separate plants, they are said to be dioecious (which means "two houses"). Hollies, kiwi and ginko plants are dioecious.
What is the name given to a plant which bears both male and female flowers seperately?
