Each plant has both the male and the female flowers. You do not need two plants.

No. For greenhouse cucumbers the F1 hybrid "all female " types are the ones to go for, If you grow the older greenhouse types that produce male and female flowers (e.g.Telegraph ) you actually have to pull the male flowers off, otherwise the cucumbers that are produced will have become fertilized and taste bitter!
Outdoor "ridge" type cucumbers should not have have the male flowers removed. Male and female flowers actually appear on the same plant.

no the flowers produced on the same plant are both male and female the way to tell is the female flower has a little bit before the flower the male doesn't

For traditional cucumbers you do. New F1 hybrid plants are all female so you have no need for male flowers.

You don't have to have male or female plants, just have to have male and female blossoms to get cucumbers - sometimes you just get one or the other.

No.....There is one plant, but there are male and female flowers on each plant. Thats how seeds form.
