Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plastids develop from undifferentiated proplastids, which have the potential to differentiate into various types of plastids, including chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and amyloplasts. Therefore, the correct choice is D, as proplastids are the precursor for all types of plastids. Etioplasts and elaioplasts are specific types of plastids that have distinct functions, but they both derive from proplastids. Chromoplasts are not the precursor for all plastids, and they primarily develop from proplastids in plant tissues that undergo pigmentation.
