In which of the following groups, are all plants monoecious ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3)- Maize, Cucumber, Fig and Melon
The monoecious group is: Maize, Cucumber, Fig and Melon
Here's why the other options are incorrect:
- Papaya, Poplar, Rose and Fig: Papaya is dioecious (separate male and female plants).
- Cucumber, Papaya, Poplar and Rose: Same issue with Papaya being dioecious.
- Maize, Papaya, Poplar and Rose: Maize, Cucumber, and Fig are monoecious, but Rose is dioecious.
Therefore, only the group with maize, cucumber, fig, and melon consists entirely of monoecious plants.
