The sprout would be longer, paler, and outstretched because it wants to reach the sunlight. The bean seedling would produce no leaves, and the plant wouldn't be as "attractive" as one grown in sunlight.

I am a 3rd grader and my science project was about growing beans with and without sunlight. The answer is yes, beans can grow without sunlight. I covered one pot of beans with a black cover and another pot of beans with nothing on it. The beans with the cover grew taller but thin and weak. The pot of beans with no cover grew thicker but shorter. The big difference is that the beans with the black cover were yellow and the beans with no cover were green. Also, I grew the beans with no soil but only with water and the method of growing plants this way is called: Hydroponics.
