  1. Question 1 (NEET 2026)

    NEET 2026EasyRoot, Stem and Leaf
    In angiosperms, root hairs arise from which one of the following regions of the root?
    1. Option A: The root cap zone
    2. Option B: The region of meristematic activity
    3. Option C: The region of elongation
    4. Option D: The region of maturation
    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: (D) The region of maturation

    Explanation

    Root hairs develop from epidermal cells in the region of maturation (differentiation), increasing surface area for absorption. Hence option (D) is correct.

  2. Question 2 (NEET 2026)

    NEET 2026EasyPhyllotaxy
    Phyllotaxy is the pattern of arrangement of ________.
    1. Option A: leaves
    2. Option B: flowers
    3. Option C: fruits
    4. Option D: sepals
    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: (A) leaves

    Explanation

    Phyllotaxy is the pattern of arrangement of leaves on the stem or branch. It is usually of three types: alternate (china rose, mustard, sunflower), opposite (Calotropis, guava) and whorled (Alstonia). The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis is called inflorescence, and the arrangement of sepals or petals in a floral bud is called aestivation. Hence the answer is option (A).

    1. Option A: (a), (b) and (c) only
    2. Option B: (d) only
    3. Option C: (a) and (b) only

    Correct answer: (A) (a), (b) and (c) only

    Explanation

    Floral characters of Solanaceae (potato family) as given in NCERT: (a) True: flowers are bisexual and actinomorphic. (b) True: calyx has five united sepals (gamosepalous), persistent, valvate aestivation. (c) True: androecium has five stamens, epipetalous. (d) False: the gynoecium is bicarpellary, syncarpous with a superior ovary (floral formula shows G‾(2)\underline{G}_{(2)}), not inferior. So (a), (b) and (c) are correct, which is option (A).

  4. Question 4 (NEET 2026)

    NEET 2026MediumFloral Formula and Semi-technical Description

  5. Question 5 (NEET 2026)

    NEET 2026EasyTypes of placentation
    Match List-I with List-II. List-I: A. Marginal placentation B. Axile placentation C. Parietal placentation D. Free central placentation List-II: I. Argemone II. Tomato III. Primrose IV. Pea Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
    1. Option A: A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
    2. Option B: A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
    3. Option C: A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
    4. Option D: A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: (D) A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

    Explanation

    A. Marginal placentation: the placenta forms a ridge along the ventral suture of the ovary, as in pea, so A-IV. B. Axile placentation: the placenta is axial and ovules are attached to it in a multilocular ovary, as in china rose, tomato and lemon, so B-II. C. Parietal placentation: ovules develop on the inner wall of the ovary, as in mustard and Argemone, so C-I. D. Free central placentation: ovules are borne on a central axis and septa are absent, as in Dianthus and Primrose, so D-III. The matching A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III is option (D).

  6. Question 6 (NEET 2026)

    NEET 2026EasyInflorescence
    In racemose inflorescence, ________.
