Unisexual flowers contain either male (staminate) or female (pistillate) reproductive organs, while bisexual flowers contain both male and female reproductive organs. 3. **Cross-Pollination in Unisexual Flowers**: In unisexual flowers, cross-pollination occurs when pollen from the male flower (staminate) is transferred to the female flower (pistillate) of a different plant. This is essential for fertilization and the production of seeds. ...
