About half of the paper consists of questions from Biology, as the NEET exam essentially focuses on capacitating students to go for seats in medical courses. One of the most significant and crucial sections in the NEET exam is of Biology.

Q1.
Haploid structure of Funaria is
Solution
(b) Protonema is slender, green, branched and filamentous gametophytic phase in the life cycle of Funaria.

Q2.
In gymnosperms, during pollination pollen grains are released from the microsporangium and transferred to
Solution
(a) Pollination occurs once a genetically compatible pollen grain lands directly on the ovule. The pollen grain germinate and grows into the ovule, penetrating the female gametophyte and eventually fertilising an egg nucleus

Q3.
Seed habit is linked to
Solution
(b) Some of the pteridophytes produce smaller spores called microspores and larger one called megaspore. This nature is called heterospory. In angiosperms there is only one functional megaspore. The male and female gametes fuse to form zygote which eventually developes into embryo. The embryo forms the seed.

Q8.
Which of the following is not correctly matched?
Solution
(d) Volvox is a freshwater green alga. It occurs in colonies or coenobium (in definite number or group), surrounded by a pellicle (gelatinous glycoprotein) layer. Each pyriform shaped cell has two long similar and smooth flagella, eye spot, cup-shaped chloroplast with pyrenoids and contractile vacuoles.
