Assertion (A): Leukoplasts are colourless plastids as they have no pigments.
Reason (R): Leukoplasts are normally found in the non-photosynthetic parts of a plant.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Reason — A is true as leukoplasts are colourless plastids because they lack pigments.
R is true as leukoplasts are found in the non-photosynthetic parts of a plant. These parts do not perform photosynthesis. Therefore, leukoplasts in these parts lack pigments, making them colourless.
Therefore, Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A is the correct option.
