Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cones are the cells in the retina that are responsible for detecting color. There are three types of cones, each responding to different wavelengths of light, which enable us to see a range of colors. The rods are responsible for detecting light and dark, as well as motion. The cortex refers to the outer layer of the brain and is not directly involved in detecting color in the eyes. Shafts do not play a role in color vision.
