Of the following the dioecous plant be:
Correct answer: C. Mulberry
- A. Sunflower
- B. Wheat
- C. Mulberry
- D. Maize
Explanation
Dioecious plants, such as Mulberry, have separate male and female individuals, meaning individual plants are either male or female, not both. This requires both male and female plants for reproduction. In contrast, Sunflower, Wheat, and Maize are monoecious, where each plant carries both male and female flowers, facilitating self-pollination or close proximity pollination without the need for separate male and female plants.
