alleryYellowing of leaves due to lack of chlorophyll is called:
AChlorosis (caused by N, Mg, Fe deficiency)
BNecrosis (which is tissue death)
CEtiolation (a light-deprivation effect)
DSenescence (the natural ageing process)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Chlorosis (caused by N, Mg, Fe deficiency)
CHLOROSIS = yellowing of leaves due to lack of chlorophyll.
Caused by deficiency of N, Mg, Fe, S, Mn, Zn, Mo.
NECROSIS = dead tissues.
Etiolation = pale + spindly from no light.
