Here you will find NEET MCQ questions on the Class 11 Biology Chapter “Anatomy of Flowering Plants” based on the NCERT textbook. Solve the below free NEET mock test for a better understanding of the various topics. 150+ important MCQs (multiple choice questions) are given in this NEET question bank.
Anatomy of Flowering Plants is the sixth chapter in the unit “Organisation in Plants and Animals” of class XI or class 11th Biology NCERT. Do note that NEET (which is conducted by NTA) is based on NCERT books so they are a must have. You can download the NCERT textbooks (PDFs) if you don’t have a hard copy.
Important Questions For NEET:
You can also answer the below NEET quiz in a sheet of paper. Once you’re done with the NEET online test series, cross verify and calculate your score and judge your performance based on the scored marks. To calculate your score, multiply 4 with the number of correct attempts and then subtract that with the number of incorrect or wrong attempts.
As a medical student pursuing MBBS myself, I’ve been in your shoes and know the amount of preparation, stress, and struggle one goes through in that phase. In this eBook, I talk about the strategies aspirants need to follow to crack NEET with flying colours. It’s a natural and human tendency to lose motivation and inspiration from time to time. Throughout this guide, I show you how you can stay focused and consistent in the best possible manner.
I hope this will help you practice better for the NEET exam! All the best!
