Options

  1. APresence of pigments
  2. BPossession of thylakoids and grana
  3. CStorage of starch, proteins and lipids
  4. DAbility to multiply by a fission-like process

Correct answer

D. Ability to multiply by a fission-like process

Step-by-step solution

Chloroplast, chromoplast and leucoplast are all types of plastids which are classified on the basis of pigments they contain. Plastids are semiautonomous cell organelles bounded by two membranes and are found in only plant cells \& some unicellular organisms (Euglena) of uncertain affinity. The common among all the three organelles are that they have ability to multiply by a fission like process because these organelles contain there own genetic material and protein synthesizing machinery, i.e., DNA, RNA and ribosomes.
