All papaya plants bear flowers but fruits are seen in some. Why?

Short Answer

Solution

All papaya plants bear flowers because they are dioecious, meaning they have male and female flowers on separate plants. Fruits develop only on the female plants, so fruits are seen only on them, not on plants with male flowers. Hence, not all papaya plants bear fruit.
