Assertion (A): A tomato changes from green to red as it ripens.
Reason (R): Chloroplasts in the fruit are converted into chromoplasts.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism: chlorophyll is broken down while carotenoid pigments accumulate in the same plastid, so the colour change reflects a conversion rather than a replacement of the organelle.
