Which one of the following plants is monoecios?
  1. Papaya
  2. Marchantia
  3. Pinus
  4. Cycas

Solution

Monoecious plants have both male and female reproductive structures on the same plant. Pinus, a gymnosperm, is monoecious because it produces male and female cones on the same tree. Other options: Papaya: Dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants. Marchantia: Dioecious, with separate male and female thalli. Cycas: Dioecious, with male and female cones on different plants.
