That's right. And squah, melons, and gourds will do the same.
Corn (maize) also has seperate male and female flowers. the tassel on top has the male flowers, and the female flowers are on the ear. Each corn seed is from a sepeate female flower on the ear. But squash, etc, give lots of seeds per female flower.
Asperigus, spinach, persimmons, and many other plants have male flowers on one plant and female flowers on another plant.
