<\/p>\nThe Neco biology 2023 answers are now available. The National Examination Council (NECO), Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) Biology paper will be written on Friday 21st July 2023.<\/p>\n
The Neco biology exam will comprise Papers III & II: Objective & Essay which will commence at 10.00 am to end at 12.30 pm. That means the examination will last for two hours thirty minutes (2hrs 30mins) only.<\/p>\n
In this post, we will be posting samples of the neco biology questions for candidates that will participate in the examination for practice purposes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Note that below is the questions from Neco past questions and answers that we feel are likely questions for GCE preparation.<\/p>\n
Section II [Theory]:<\/strong> 1. (a) (i) State two main functions of roots. 2. (a) What is reproduction? 3. (a) (i) What is\u00a0pollution? 4. (a) In a garden, it was observed that the leaves of some vegetables were molting and had turned yellow, purple, and orange. There was stunted growth of mostly the lower leaves and the vegetables possessed a weak stem. List the elements likely to be deficient in the garden soil. 5. (a) (i) Bacteria reproduce asexually by dividing in two. What term is used for this form of asexual reproduction? 6. (a) (i) What is courtship behaviour? 7. (a) Explain briefly the role of the skin as a sensory organ. 8.<\/p>\n
\nAnswer any four<\/strong> questions from this section. Each question carries 10 marks.
