alleryIn the retina of the human eye, the COLOUR + sharp daylight vision is mediated by:
ARods (for low-light black-and-white vision)
BCornea (the outer transparent layer)
CCones (for daylight + colour vision)
DIris (controls pupil aperture only)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Cones (for daylight + colour vision)
**CONES:** photoreceptors for colour + sharp vision
concentrated in the fovea.
**RODS:** more sensitive, low-light + black-white.
**Humans have 3 cone types:** red, green, blue sensitive.
Colour blindness = defective cone.
