1. unisexual

   Dioecy (; from Ancient Greek διοικία (dioikía) 'two households'; adj. dioecious , ) is a characteristic of a species, meaning that it has distinct individual organisms (unisexual) that produce male or female gametes, either directly (in animals) or indirectly (in seed plants). Dioecious reproduction is biparental reproduction. Dioecy has costs, since only about half the population directly produces offspring. It is one method for excluding self-fertilization and promoting allogamy (outcrossing), and thus tends to reduce the expression of recessive deleterious mutations present in a population. Plants have several other methods of preventing self-fertilization including, for example, dichogamy, herkogamy, and self-incompatibility. Dioecy is a dimorphic sexual system, alongside gynodioecy and androdioecy.

   Unisexual refers to organisms, typically plants or animals, that have only one sex, either male or female, rather than possessing both reproductive organs like hermaphroditic species. It can also indicate processes, flowers, or individuals that are associated with or specialized for one sex. For humans and other mammals, it can describe phenomena or systems related to one gender only.
