Dear Readers,
NEET is the most famous and important medical entrance examination held in our country. This exam is an objective type, an offline test which includes 4 sections namely– Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology. The maximum marks that can be scored are 720 marks and have 180 questions.
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. It comprises of theories, descriptions, discoveries, diagrams, definitions, explanations of differences, and relations.

Q6.
Which of the following is true about bryophytes?
Solution
(d) Bryophyte is a group of embryo producing plants, which do not bear fruits, seeds and any vascular tissue. They are known as ‘amphibians of plant kingdom’. Body is thalloid and green (due to presence of chloroplast). Male sexual organ is antheridium and female sexual organ is archegonium.
