This Class 11 Biology Chapter 10 Cell Cycle and Cell Division NCERT Exemplar Book PDF is the official 2026-27 NCERT Exemplar, checked against the latest edition.

What the Cell Cycle and Cell Division Exemplar Covers

The Exemplar tests the same chapter as the textbook but at a higher level of difficulty. Its questions probe common traps in the phases of the cell cycle, the events of mitosis and meiosis, and the significance of each division. Because Chapter 10 is heavy on sequence and phase-wise events, the Exemplar spends its questions checking whether students can order the stages of mitosis, tell meiosis I from meiosis II, and match chromosome number and DNA content to each phase.

• Phases of the cell cycle, including interphase (G1, S, G2) and the M phase, with quiescent stage G0.
• Mitosis stage by stage (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) and cytokinesis, plus the significance of mitosis.
• Meiosis I and meiosis II, crossing over, synapsis, and the significance of meiosis in variation and constant chromosome number.

Why Practise the Exemplar for This Chapter

The Exemplar bridges the gap between the NCERT textbook and the level of a competitive exam. For cell division, its questions are close to the style asked in NEET and CUET, where a single detail about the chromosome number in anaphase or the event of crossing over can decide a mark. Because Chapter 10 is built on ordered events, the Exemplar is where students find the tricky assertion-reason sets and the well-framed MCQs that a plain reading of the textbook rarely throws up.

• Higher-order questions that the textbook exercises do not cover.
• Assertion-reason sets that sharpen your grip on mitosis and meiosis events.
• MCQs on phase-wise DNA and chromosome numbers at exam level.

How to Use the Exemplar for Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Attempt the Exemplar only after you have finished the NCERT textbook chapter and its back exercises. Treat it as your second, harder pass over the chapter. Because much of this chapter is a sequence of events, students gain the most by sketching each stage in order and tracking chromosome number rather than only marking the option, so the flow of division stays fixed in memory for the exam.

• Solve the MCQs first to test recall, then move to assertion-reason.
• Attempt each short and long answer fully before checking the Exemplar Solutions.
• Mark the questions you got wrong and redo them after two days.
• Keep a stage-wise diagram of mitosis and meiosis handy while you practise.

Other Class 11 Biology Cell Cycle and Cell Division Resources

Use the Exemplar with the textbook PDF, the solved answers, the revision notes and the formula sheet for the same chapter. Working across all the resources gives students the definitions, the practice and the higher-order questions they need for both the CBSE board exam and NEET.

Student Feedback on the Cell Cycle and Cell Division Exemplar

More than 10,000 Class 11 students used these Collegedunia NCERT resources during the 2026 boards and NEET preparation. Their feedback shaped how we present this chapter, and the message on Chapter 10 was consistent: the Exemplar is what turns a sequence of stages into exam-ready recall.

• Students rated the assertion-reason sets as the most useful part for fixing the order of division stages.
• Many said the Exemplar MCQs on chromosome number matched the NEET questions they later saw.
• Students preparing for CUET found the short-answer terms a fast way to revise the whole chapter.
