The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Andromonoecious Plants**: - Andromonoecious plants are defined as those that produce both male flowers and hermaphrodite (bisexual) flowers on the same individual plant. 2. **Identifying Flower Types**: - Male flowers (also known as staminate flowers) contain only male reproductive structures (stamens) and do not produce seeds. - Hermaphrodite flowers contain both male (stamens) and female (pistils) reproductive structures, allowing them to produce seeds. 3. **Population Characteristics**: - In an andromonoecious population, there are more male flowers compared to female flowers. However, the presence of hermaphrodite flowers allows for reproduction as they can facilitate pollination. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, andromonoecious plants are characterized by having both male and hermaphrodite flowers on the same plant, which allows for a diverse reproductive strategy within the population. 5. **Correct Answer**: - The correct option is that andromonoecious plants produce both male and bisexual flowers on the same individual in a population. ---
