The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Monoecious Plants**: - A monoecious plant is one that has both male and female reproductive structures (flowers) on the same individual. This means that a single plant can produce both male gametes (pollen) and female gametes (ovules). 2. **Definition of Terms**: - **Monoecious**: Derived from Greek, meaning "one house". In these plants, male and female flowers are found on the same plant. - **Dioecious**: This term means "two houses", referring to plants that have male and female flowers on separate individuals. 3. **Characteristics of Monoecious Plants**: - Male and female flowers are present on the same plant. - This arrangement allows for self-pollination as well as cross-pollination, increasing reproductive success. 4. **Comparison with Dioecious Plants**: - In dioecious plants, male and female flowers are on different plants, which means that fertilization can only occur through cross-pollination. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the question asks about what happens in a monoecious plant, the key takeaway is that both male and female reproductive structures are present on the same individual, allowing for various forms of pollination. ### Final Answer: In a monoecious plant, both male and female flowers are present on the same individual. ---
