Are the different types of plastids interchangable? If yes, give examples where they are getting converted from one type to another?

Dear Student,

Yes, the different types of plastids are interchangeable. Chromoplast is changeable into Chloroplast and vice versa. But there is not direct change of chloroplast and chromoplast into leucoplast.
For ex - Tomato. When it is not matured it possess green colour , the plastid Chloroplast.But when it becomes matured, it is then gets converted into Red colour, the plastid Chromoplast.
Chilli can also be taken into consideration.

Regards.
