Question

The plastid which can form all other types of plastids is

• A. Leucoplast
• B. Amyloplast
• C. Chloroplast
• D. Chromoplast

Answer 1

The correct option is A Leucoplast

• Plastids are a pigment containing double membrane-bound organelle which is the site of manufacture and storage of chemical compounds.
  
• Plastids are of three types on the basis of the pigments present within them:-
• 1. chloroplast (green plastid), 2. The chromoplast (coloured plastid) and 3. Leucoplast (colourless plastid).
• Leucoplasts can differentiate into specialized plastids and are of the following

1. Amyloplasts stores starch and helps to detect gravity,
2. Elaioplasts stores fat.
3. Proteinoplast stores and modifies proteins.

• So, the correct answer is 'Leucoplast'.
