Give examples of bisexual and unisexual flowers

Explanation

Solution

The reproductive segment of flowering plants is a flower. The flora of a plant is also called flowers. The blossoms have petals. The parts which produce pollen and seeds are inside the part of the flower that has petals.

Complete answer:
Angiosperm is the most mature plant in terms of flowering plants. The flowering plants are the plants that have flowers. They reproduce through sexual reproduction that includes a fusion of sex cells called gametes. The sexual reproduction may include fusion of male and female gametes of the plant which results in seed formation which further grows into a plant. In flowering plants, the ovules and pollen grains are produced in a structure called flower, and the fruits are enclosed and protect the seeds.

The flowers are either unisexual or bisexual depending on the type of plant.
The unisexual flower contains only one reproductive organ either male or female. They are either male organs called stamens or female organ called pistils. They don't have both stamens or carpels in the same flower. Both male and female unisexual flowers may be seen in the same plant or in the different plants.

Examples: Coconut flowers, Papaya, Watermelon, Cucumber, Maize, White mulberry, Muskmelon, Castor bean, Marrow, Luffa, Snake gourd, Bitter gourd, Tapioca, Pumpkin, American holly, Birch, Pine, Gopher purge, Tung Oil bean
Bisexual or perfect flowers have both male and female reproductive organs. The male organ is called androecium and gynoecium is the female reproductive structure. It also has stamens and ovaries.

Examples: Lily, Rose, Sunflower, Tulip, Daffodil, Mustard, Brinjal, Hibiscus, Tomato, Long bean, Chille, Country bean, mango

Note: Flowering plants provide us with food, fuel, medications, fodder, and many items that are commercially important. The monocotyledons are those that give one seed, while the dicotyledons have two flowering plants. They are further split into cotyledons and dicotyledons.
