If seed grown in dark or albino mutation, leaf won't be green.


But still contain the plastid.





In flowers, chloroplast also contain pigments e.g. yellow chromoplasts.





chloroplasts are clear amyloplasts in roots, tubers, seeds in dark can form storage starch.Select the false statement regarding chloroplasts?
4 is wrong because the enzymes that work in the Calvin cycle are made of protein, and the Calvin cycle happens in the stroma.
