NEET Previous-Year & Exam-Pattern Set

From the previous-year papers, this chapter reliably tests: the phases of the cell cycle and what happens in each (especially S-phase DNA replication); the events of each mitotic stage; which stage the centromere splits in; the five sub-stages of prophase I and the events tied to each (synapsis, crossing over, chiasmata); the mitosis-vs-meiosis differences; and DNA-content / chromosome-number changes through the cycle.

Below are genuine NEET previous-year questions from this chapter, followed by exam-pattern practice in the same styles, each with a full worked solution.
