Answer:

One of the leaves will turn blue-black and the other will turn reddish-brown when you apply iodine to them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Iodine is an indicator that changes colour from blue to black when starch is present. The leaf that was in the light changes from green to blue-black, showing that it has been undergoing photosynthesis and producing starch.
