    Question

    Normal seedlings upon putting in dark, for few days, get

    converted into white like albinos. Which of the following terms will you use to describe them?
    A Mutated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Embolized Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Etiolated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Bolted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Etiolation refers to the process where plants grow in partial or complete absence of light, leading to elongated, pale, and weak stems. This is a common response in seedlings grown in the dark as they elongate rapidly in search of light and lack chlorophyll, giving them a white or pale appearance.
