To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements provided and determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement-I**: - Statement-I states that "Unisexual flowers are either staminate flowers or pistillate flowers." - **Explanation**: Unisexual flowers are defined as flowers that contain either male reproductive parts (staminate) or female reproductive parts (pistillate), but not both. Therefore, this statement is correct. 2. **Understanding Statement-II**: - Statement-II states that "Both monoecious and dioecious plants have unisexual flowers." - **Explanation**: - Monoecious plants have both male and female flowers on the same individual (e.g., corn), and they can produce unisexual flowers (male or female). - Dioecious plants have separate male and female individuals (e.g., holly), and they also produce unisexual flowers. - Thus, both monoecious and dioecious plants can indeed have unisexual flowers. Therefore, this statement is also correct. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements are correct, we can conclude that the correct option is: - **Option A**: Both statements 1 and 2 are correct. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is **Option A**: Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.
