Morphology of Flowering Plants: NEET questions with solutions
This chapter tests root, stem and leaf modifications and types, inflorescences, flower parts, aestivation, ovary position, placentation, fruit and seed structure, and floral formulae. NEET marks are lost on swapped examples (hypogynous versus perigynous, twisted versus imbricate) and on the order of flower opening in racemose and cymose inflorescences.
