Question 1 · NEET 2025

Match List-I with List-II. List-I List-II A. Pteridophyte I. Salvia B. Bryophyte II. Ginkgo C. Angiosperm III. Polytrichum D. Gymnosperm IV. Salvinia Choose the option with all correct matches.

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

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

Identify each plant's group: Salvia (flowering plant) = Angiosperm. Ginkgo (naked seed) = Gymnosperm. Polytrichum (moss) = Bryophyte. Salvinia (floating fern) = Pteridophyte. Match: A–IV, B–III, C–I, D–II.

Question 2 · NEET 2025

In bryophytes, the gemmae help in which one of the following?

  1. A.Sexual reproduction
  2. B.Asexual reproduction
  3. C.Nutrient absorption
  4. D.Gaseous exchange
Show answer

Answer: B. Asexual reproduction

Gemmae are multicellular, asexual reproductive structures in some bryophytes like liverworts. They detach from the parent and grow into new plants.

Question 3 · NEET 2025

Given below are the stages in the life cycle of pteridophytes. Arrange the following stages in the correct sequence. A. Prothallus stage B. Meiosis in spore mother cells C. Fertilisation D. Formation of archegonia and antheridia in gametophyte. E. Transfer of antherozoids to the archegonia in presence of water. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A.B, A, D, E, C
  2. B.B, A, E, C, D
  3. C.D, E, C, A, B
  4. D.E, D, C, B, A
Show answer

Answer: A. B, A, D, E, C

Life cycle begins with meiosis in spore mother cells (B) producing spores → spores germinate into prothallus (A) → prothallus forms archegonia and antheridia (D) → antherozoids transferred to archegonia via water (E) → fertilization occurs (C).

Question 4 · NEET 2025

The correct sequence of events in the life cycle of bryophytes is A. Fusion of antherozoid with egg. B. Attachment of gametophyte to substratum. C. Reduction division to produce haploid spores. D. Formation of sporophyte. E. Release of antherozoids into water. Choose the correct answer from the option given below:

  1. A.D, E, A, C, B
  2. B.B, E, A, C, D
  3. C.B, E, A, D, C
  4. D.D, E, A, B, C
Show answer

Answer: C. B, E, A, D, C

Bryophytes start with gametophyte attached to substratum (B). Antherozoids are released into water (E), fuse with egg (A) to form zygote, which grows into sporophyte (D). Sporophyte undergoes meiosis producing haploid spores (C). Sequence: B → E → A → D → C.

Question 5 · NEET 2025

Which of following organisms cannot fix nitrogen? A. Azotobacter B. Oscillatoria C. Anabaena D. Volvox E. Nostoc Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A.A only
  2. B.D only
  3. C.B only
  4. D.E only
Show answer

Answer: B. D only

Azotobacter, Oscillatoria, Anabaena, and Nostoc are all nitrogen‑fixers. Volvox is a green alga that performs photosynthesis but does not fix atmospheric nitrogen.
