Answer:
Chromoplasts are pigmented plastids that are not green in colour. Chromoplasts are usually yellow, red and appear in fruits, flowers or ageing leaves of the plant parts. Their primary function is to provide distinctive colours to the plant parts and they are non-photosynthetic pigments that lack chlorophyll.

Answer:-
- Chromoplasts function in the synthesis and storage of carotenoid pigments in flowers and fruits, and in certain leaves and roots. The colouration of petals by chromoplasts is an evolutionary strategy adopted by some angiosperms to attract pollinators (Waters and Pyke 2005; Egea et al.11-May-2019
