What is the difference between unisexual and bisexual flowers?

Flowers are the reproductive parts of plants. Based on the type of reproductive organs they contain, flowers are classified into two main types:

 1. Unisexual Flowers

• Have either male parts (stamens) or female parts (carpels), not both.
• Need another flower (male or female) for pollination.
• Common in dioecious plants (male and female flowers on different plants).
• Examples: Papaya, corn (maize), cucumber.

 2. Bisexual Flowers

• Have both stamens and carpels in the same flower.
• Can carry out self-pollination or cross-pollination.
• Common in hermaphroditic plants.
• Examples: Rose, hibiscus, mustard, sunflower.
