Answer: the leaves will start turning yellow and the stem or stalk will grow longer towards the direction of sunlight.

Explanation: lack of enough sunlight causes plant leaves to loose chlorophyll (the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis). Also auxin; a plant growth hormone will be secreted in the stem to stimulate growth towards the direction of sunlight.
