In this article, we have provided chapter-wise MCQs based on NCERT Biology for NEET 2027 along with their solutions. These questions need to be solved along with NCERT Biology books, NEET previous year questions and mock tests instead of using NEET MCQs as an alternative to NCERT.
NCERT-based MCQs will help the aspirants change their passive reading into active recall. After completing a particular chapter, the aspirants may solve the MCQs, which would help them:
Find out the concepts and facts that they haven’t understood yet.
Find out if they can recall the information without going through the NCERT.
Practice statement-based and application-based questions.
Revise all the diagrams, tables, and examples.
Become accurate before attempting Biology test papers.
Find out the weaker areas.
Get expert advice on college selection, admission chances, and career path in a personalized counselling session.
Chapter-wise NCERT-based NEET MCQ for NEET Biology helps students cover the syllabus in an organised way. Each chapter is linked to NCERT concepts, diagrams, and key facts. Practising the top 100 NEET biology questions will help increase accuracy and speed up the revision process.
Biology MCQs for Class 11 will help students to build on their fundamental knowledge of concepts from various topics like cell biology, plant physiology, human physiology, and biological classification. Attempt these questions after studying the respective NCERT chapters, and refer to your book in case you make any mistakes.
Ques: Given below are two statements :
Statement I: In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable
to electrolytes.
Statement II: The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and
increases the surface area for reabsorption.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option given below :
Chapter: Excretory Products and Elimination
Option 1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Option 2) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Option 3) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Option 4) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Solution:
The correct answer is option (2) because both statements are false. Statement I is False because it is indeed the descending limb of the loop that is permeable to water and nearly impermeable to electrolytes, which permit water reabsorption. Statement II is false because the surface area is increased in the proximal convoluted tubule by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Ques: Auxin is used by gardeners to prepare weed-free lawns. But no damage is caused to the grass as auxin.
Chapter: Plant Growth and Development
Option 1) Promotes apical dominance
Option 2) Promotes abscission of mature leaves only
Option 3) Does not affect mature monocotyledonous plants
Option 4) Can help in cell division in grasses, to produce growth
Solution:
Auxin is used by gardeners to prepare weed-free lawns because it is a plant hormone that, when applied in high concentrations, promotes excessive growth in broad-leaved plants (weeds), leading to their rapid death. However, no damage is caused to grass because grasses are typically insensitive to auxins at the concentrations used for weed control. Grass species, being monocots, have different growth regulation mechanisms compared to the broad-leaved dicots, making them less susceptible to the overgrowth effects caused by auxins. This selective action allows the weeds to be eliminated while the grass remains unharmed.
Hence, the correct answer is that option 3 does not affect mature monocotyledonous plants.
Biology MCQs for Class 12 comprise concepts like genetics, evolution, reproduction, biotechnology, and ecology. You can use these questions for recall purposes after studying the respective NCERT chapters.
Ques:
Given below are some stages of human evolution.
Arrange them in the correct sequence. (Past to Recent)
A. Homo habilis
B. Homo sapiens
C. Homo neanderthalensis
D. Homo erectus
Choose the correct sequence from the options given below.
Option 1) C-B-D-A
Option 2) A-D-C-B
Option 3) D-A-C-B
Option 4) B-A-D-C
Answer: Option 2) A-D-C-B
Solution: The correct sequence of human evolution from past to recent is Homo habilis → Homo erectus → Homo neanderthalensis → Homo sapiens. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-D-C-B, which corresponds to Option 2.
Ques: In which ecosystem is the autotroph-fixed energy likely to reach the primary carnivore level in the shortest time?
Chapter: Evolution
Option 1) Temperate deciduous forest
Option 2) Grasslands
Option 3) Ocean
Option 4) Tropical rainforest
Solution:
Tropical rainforests have very high productivity and biodiversity. Dense vegetation and diverse species make energy flow fast and efficiently. Autotrophs like trees and plants fix large amounts of energy, which quickly passes to herbivores and then to carnivores.
Other ecosystems, such as temperate forests, grasslands, or oceans, have lower productivity or different food webs, so energy transfer takes longer. Thus, in tropical rainforests, autotroph-fixed energy reaches primary carnivores in the shortest time.
Hence, the correct option is 4. Tropical rainforest.
