Real questions NTA asked from Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants, with the answer and the working. Try before you peek.

Question 1 · NEET 2026

Which of the following plant produces non-albuminous seeds?
  1. A.Wheat
  2. B.Maize
  3. C.Barley
  4. D.Pea
Answer and explanation

Answer: D

Non-albuminous (exalbuminous) seeds consume the entire endosperm during embryo development, so the mature seed stores food in fleshy cotyledons instead. Pea is the standard example, along with groundnut and bean. Wheat, maize, barley, castor and coconut all retain endosperm at maturity and are albuminous. NCERT Class 12, Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants.

Question 2 · NEET 2026

Which of the following in female gametophyte of an angiosperm helps in guiding the pollen tube for fertilizing the eggs?
  1. A.Antipodals
  2. B.Synergids
  3. C.Central cells
  4. D.Polar nucleus
Answer and explanation

Answer: B

The two synergids flank the egg at the micropylar end and bear the FILIFORM APPARATUS, a set of thickened cell wall projections that secrete chemical attractants and guide the pollen tube into the embryo sac. The pollen tube in fact enters one of the synergids, not the egg directly, and releases the two male gametes there. NCERT Class 12, Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants.
