Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person with normal color vision is a trichromat, which means they have three types of cones in their eyes that enable them to distinguish between different wavelengths of light and perceive color. A bichromat would have only two types of cones and would have difficulty distinguishing between certain colors, while a dichromat would have one type of cone missing and would have even greater difficulty distinguishing colors. A monochromat would have no color vision at all and would only be able to see shades of gray.
