Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, photosynthesis occurs in plants having red and brown leaves. Photosynthesis is the process using which the plants make food.

In plants like coleus that have red and brown leaves, and the photosynthesis can take place because they are containing chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the pigment that is essentially required to carry out the process of photosynthesis. The "large amount of red and brown" pigment simply masks the "green colour of the leaves".
