Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Color vision is the result of activity in three types of cone cells, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light; short, medium, and long. In people who are color-blind, one or more of these types of cones do not function properly, resulting in difficulty distinguishing certain colors. The most common types are red-green color blindness, where either the red-sensitive or green-sensitive cone cells do not function properly, leading to difficulty distinguishing colors in that range. Therefore, the answer is B) cones.
