Advika took a Croton plant with shaded leaves and set up an experiment as shown here. She kept the plant first in darkness for a few hours and then placed it in sunlight. After 6 hours, she performed iodine test on plucked leaves P, Q and R. Which of the following is the possible outcome? (Note : Shaded portion in the question figure indicates green colour and in the options, it indicates blue-black colour.)
A - Leaf Q
B - Leaf Q
C - Leaf R
D - Leaf P
Correct answer is D since the CO2 obsorbent is present in Leaf P.When the outer circle is not present,it does not mean the leaf cannot prepare starch.The picture depiction is confusing.

yes, the answer will be (a) as when we take such a leaf only the green part will be containing starch as it has chlorophyll in it and the other part does not , this is why only the green part will have the ingredients to make glucose(starch)and once iodine is added it turns blue and black
