HEYA,,

YOUR ANSWER IS --

PLASTIDS..

THEY ARE SUCH CELL ORGANELLE WHICH GIVES COLOUR ..

FOR THIS THEY HAVE CHROMOPLASTS AND CHLOROPLASTS IN THEIR CELL.
IN PLANTS , THE LEAVES TURN INTO GREEN DUE TO CHROMOPLASTS..

HOPE HELPED..

Answer 2

The change in color of green tomatoes to red is mainly due to the formation of chromoplasts from chloroplasts.

Explanation:

• Chlorophyll-containing chloroplasts mature into chromoplasts (red pigments) in tomatoes.
• The chromoplasts of such red colored fruits contain a pigment called lycopene, which is present in the form of crystals within the lumina of the membrane sac.
• They are derived from the inner membrane when the chloroplasts mature during the ripening process.
• So, the correct answer is 'formation of chromoplast from chloroplast'.
• Lycopene is responsible for the red color of ripe fruit in tomato cultivation, while the yellow color of flowers is due to xanthophylls violaxanthin and neoxanthin.
• Carotenoid biosynthesis occurs in both chromoplast and chloroplast.
