Past NEET questions on Morphology of Flowering Plants

Try each one, then open the answer and explanation.

Question 1 · NEET 2025

Which of the following is an example of a zygomorphic flower?

  1. A.Petunia
  2. B.Datura
  3. C.Pea
  4. D.Chilli
Show answer

Answer: C. Pea

Zygomorphic flowers have bilateral symmetry. Pea (Fabaceae) flowers are zygomorphic. Petunia, Datura, and Chilli flowers are actinomorphic.

Question 2 · NEET 2025

Match List I with List II. List I List II A. Scutellum I. Persistent nucellus B. Non-albuminous II. Cotyledon of seed Monocot seed C. Epiblast III. Groundnut D. Perisperm IV. Rudimentary cotyledon Choose the option with all correct matches.

  1. A.A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
  2. B.A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  3. C.A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
  4. D.A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
Show answer

Answer: A. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Scutellum is the single cotyledon in monocot seeds → A-II; Non-albuminous seeds lack endosperm at maturity, e.g., groundnut → B-III; Epiblast in some grasses is a second rudimentary cotyledon → C-IV; Perisperm is persistent nucellus → D-I. So correct matches: A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.

Question 3 · NEET 2024

Match List-I with List-II : List-I List-II A. Vexillary aestivation I. Brinjal B. Epipetalous stamens II. Peach C. Epiphyllous stamens III. Pea D. Perigynous flower IV. Lily Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A.A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
  2. B.A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
  3. C.A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
  4. D.A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
Show answer

Answer: A. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Vexillary aestivation is characteristic of Fabaceae (pea → A-III). Epipetalous stamens are stamens attached to petals, as in Solanaceae (brinjal → B-I). Epiphyllous stamens are attached to perianth leaves (tepals), seen in Liliaceae (lily → C-IV). Perigynous flower has a cup‑like hypanthium, as in Rosaceae (peach → D-II).

Question 4 · NEET 2022

Identify the correct statements related to the androecium in the flower. (a) The sterile stamens are called staminodes. (b) When stamens arc attached to petals they are called epipetalous. (c) Monadelphy is seen in China-rose. (d) Polyadelphy is seen in Pea. (e) Variation in the length of anther filaments is seen in Mustard. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A.(a), (b), (c) and (e) only
  2. B.(a), (b) and (c) only
  3. C.(b), (c) and (d) only
  4. D.(a), (c), (d) and (e) only Ans.
Show answer

Answer: A. (a), (b), (c) and (e) only

Sterile stamens are staminodes (a). Epipetalous stamens are attached to petals (b). Monadelphy (united filaments in one bundle) is in China-rose (c). Polyadelphy (multiple bundles) is in Citrus, not Pea (d error). Variable filament length is in mustard (heterostyly) (e). So (a), (b), (c), (e) correct.

Question 5 · NEET 2022

Which one of the following plants show vexillary aestivation and diadelphous stamens?

  1. A.Colchicum autumnale
  2. B.Pisum sativum
  3. C.Allium cepa
  4. D.Solanum nigrum
Show answer

Answer: B. Pisum sativum

Vexillary aestivation occurs in papilionaceous corolla (pea family). Diadelphous stamens (9 fused +1 free) are also characteristic of Fabaceae. Pisum sativum (garden pea) belongs to Fabaceae, matching both traits.
