Unisexual Flower

a flower having stamens but no pistils or having pistils but no stamens. A flower having only stamens i
s said to be staminate, or male. A flowerhaving only pistils is said to be pistillate, or female. In many u
nisexual flowers, the nonfunctioning organs of the other sex are present inreduced form, thus attesting
to the plant’s original bisexual nature. Such flowers are said to be functionally male or functionally fe
male.

The distribution of unisexual flowers on plants varies.

 The differences between a unisexual and a bisexual flower is
unisexual flower- the flower may either contain stamen or a carpel.
cross pollination takes place in such kinds
bisexual flower - such flowers contain both stamen and carpels .
there are chances of cross pollination and self pollination in such flowers.

"Bisexual or perfect flowers have both male (androecium) and female
(gynoecium) reproductive structures, including stamens, carpels, and an
ovary. Flowers that contain both androecium and gynoecium are called
androgynous or hermaphroditic. Examples of plants with perfect or
bisexual flowers include the lily, rose, and most plants with large
showy flowers, though a perfect flower does not have to have petals or
sepals. Other terms widely used are hermaphrodite, monoclinous, and
synoecious. A complete flower is a perfect flower with petals and
sepals.

Uni sexual: Reproductive structure that is either functionally male or

functionally female. In angiosperms this condition is also called
diclinous, imperfect, or incomplete.

Bisexual flowers contain both – the stamens and the pistil. For example, mustard and
rose.
Uni sexual flowers have either the stamens or the pistil. For example, cucumber, maize
and watermelon

Plants with unisexual floewrs have either pistillate[female flowers or
the flowers with gynoecium]or staminate [male flowers or flowers with
androecium].bisexual flowers have both androecium and gynoecium in the
same flowers.no it has both male and female flowers but they r present
differently.

Bisexual Flowers
By: Janet Grischy
Bisexual flowers are also called perfect flowers. They have both male and
female reproductive organs in one flower. Unisexual flowers may be male
or female, meaning each has only female or male reproductive organs.
They are called imperfect. Flowers are called incomplete if they lack any of
their parts, including their sepals or petals. Only a bisexual flower with
sepals and petals is complete.
Flower structure
Flowers are constructed in four whorls. The outermost whorl is the sepals.
They are usually green, and are collectively called the calyx. The calyx
encloses and protects the flower before it opens.
Next in are the petals, which are collectively called the corolla. They attract
the pollinators with color and scent. Some corollas are shaped to direct
pollinators in ways that encourage pollen transfer. Petals may be missing in
incomplete flowers.
The stamens, the male organs, are next in. They are upright fibers with a
stalk called the filament, and a tip where the pollen is produced called the
anther.
The pistil is the innermost part of the flower. It consists of the ovary, style
and stigma. The stigma is the outer, sticky tip where the pollen lands. From
the stigma, a grain of pollen grows down the style to reach the ovary,
where it unites with the egg to produce a seed.
Plant gender
Individual plants can bear all male flowers, all female, both, or a mixture of
flower genders. Some plants have different gendered flowers at different
life stages or in different seasons. Meadow rue is a wildflower that often
bears a mixture of flower genders.
Plants that bear all male or all female flowers are dioecious. They need to
grow near a plant of the other gender. Insects, wind, rain, animals or even
humans help the dioecious plants pollinate and make seeds. Willows, hops
and persimmons are all dioecious. These plants will flower abundantly
without pollinators, but they cannot make seeds or bear fruit.
Plants that bear male and female flowers or perfect flowers are
monoecious; they can self-pollinate. The lilies are perfect, so each flower
can pollinate itself. Corn is also monoecious, but the male and female
flowers are separate on each corn stalk. The pollen falls from the male
tassel at the top of the plant, and gravity or the wind carries it to the silks of
the female flower.
Male and female flowers
Female flowers have a pistil but no stamens. When fruiting plants bear
male and female flowers, it is the female that becomes the fruit.
Male flowers have stamens. They produce the pollen that must be
transferred to the pistil for fertilization to occur. Squash plants carry both
male and female blossoms, and the pollen is carried between them by
bees. The difference in form can plainly be seen in squash blossoms.
Bisexual flowers
Roses are perfect, and not merely because of their beauty. They have both
stamen and pistil, and a complete complement of sepals and petals.
Scruffy looking dandelions are perfect and complete as well.
