A monocot flower has 6 tepals, 12 stamens arranged in 3 whorls, and a single ovary. Based on its floral parts, identify whether the flower is bisexual or unisexual and classify its symmetry. Provide reasoning.

Step-by-step solution

1. Check for the presence of both stamens (male) and pistil (female); both are present, so the flower is bisexual.
2. Observe the arrangement: tepals, stamens, and ovary are arranged equally around the centre.
3. Recall that equal arrangement around the centre indicates actinomorphic symmetry.
4. State the conclusions: bisexual and actinomorphic.
