UI Post-UTME Biology Past Questions
Biology is essential for the University of Ibadan Post-UTME exam if you're applying for Medicine (MBBS), Nursing, Pharmacy, Agriculture, or any biological science course. The UI Post-UTME Biology section covers cell biology, genetics, ecology, evolution, anatomy, and physiology. Questions test both factual knowledge and the ability to apply biological concepts.
Topics Covered in UI Post-UTME Biology
- Cell biology — cell structure, organelles, cell division
- Genetics — Mendel's laws, DNA, inheritance, mutations
- Ecology — ecosystem, food chains, nutrient cycling, biomes
- Evolution — natural selection, adaptation, speciation
- Human anatomy — skeletal, circulatory, respiratory, nervous systems
- Plant biology — photosynthesis, transpiration, reproduction
- Reproduction — human reproductive system, development
- Microorganisms — bacteria, viruses, fungi, diseases

Q1.The two main components of the plasma membrane are: I. Protein II. Carbohydrates III. Phospholipids
Show Verified Answer & Explanation▶
Correct Answer: C. I & III only
According to the fluid mosaic model, plasma membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer (III) embedded with proteins (I).
Q2.Which of the following organelles is/are double-membrane? I. Cell membrane II. Nucleus III. Chloroplast IV. Mitochondria
Show Verified Answer & Explanation▶
Correct Answer: D. II, III & IV only
The Nucleus (II), Chloroplast (III), and Mitochondria (IV) are double-membrane bound. The cell membrane is a single lipid bilayer structure.
Q3.Which of the following is used in lumbering? I. Fir II. Cycads III. Gingkos IV. Gnetum V. Pine
Show Verified Answer & Explanation▶
Correct Answer: C. I, II & III only
Gymnosperms like Fir and Pine (conifers), as well as Ginkgos, produce timber suitable for commercial logging/lumbering.
How to Prepare for UI Post-UTME Biology
Know cell organelles and their functions — these are consistently tested in UI Post-UTME Biology.
Master genetics problems — Mendelian crosses, genotype/phenotype ratios appear every year.
Study the human body systems thoroughly, especially circulatory and nervous systems.
Understand ecological concepts — food chains, energy flow, nutrient cycling.
Don't neglect plant biology — photosynthesis and transpiration questions are common.
