NEET 2017 Biology Cell Cycle and Cell Division Questions

Use this page to connect the official 2017 paper with current Biology practice. NeetVellum does not claim a chapter appeared in that paper until the official question and final key have been mapped.

What to master

cell-cycle control, mitosis, meiosis and chromosome behaviour.

Original practice preview

These are current-syllabus NeetVellum questions, shown separately from historical-paper provenance.

Example 1 · difficulty 2/5

Which of the following correctly lists the hallmark events of anaphase in a mitotically dividing cell?

A. Chromosomal material condenses; centrioles move to opposite poles
B. Chromosomes align along the equator; spindle fibres attach to kinetochores
C. Nuclear envelope and nucleolus reappear; Golgi complex reforms
D. Centromeres split; sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles

Example 2 · difficulty 1/5

During cytokinesis of a higher plant cell, the newly forming cell plate grows:

A. From the centre of the cell towards the periphery
B. From the periphery towards the centre
C. Uniformly at random throughout the cytoplasm
D. Only along the pre-existing lateral walls

Example 3 · difficulty 3/5

In prophase I of meiosis, crossing over between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes takes place at the sub-stage marked by the appearance of recombination nodules. This sub-stage is:

A. Leptotene
B. Zygotene
C. Pachytene
D. Diplotene

The evidence-first practice loop

1. Verify provenanceOfficial paper and final key before accepting a PYQ label.
2. Attempt closed-bookExpose the concept or execution gap before rereading.
3. Repair and returnClassify the miss and re-practice after a delay.

Frequently asked questions

Are these official NEET 2017 Biology Cell Cycle and Cell Division PYQs?

No. The previews are original NeetVellum practice questions. A historical item receives a PYQ label only after its official paper and authoritative final answer key are attached. Use the official archive for the source paper.

How should I use the NEET 2017 paper?

Solve the official paper under its original timing, verify against the final key, classify every miss, and then use the linked current-syllabus practice bank to repair the exposed concept.
