Solution (By Examveda Team)

Sugarcane plant shows chloroplast dimorphism.
The occurrence of two different types of chloroplasts in the leaves of C4 plants is referred to as chloroplast dimorphism. It is a characteristic feature of C4 plants like sugarcane.
The vascular bundle sheath cells of sugar cane contain starch-storing chloroplasts lacking grana, whereas the adjacent mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts that store very little starch and possess abundant grana.
