Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cones are responsible for color vision and high detail in bright light conditions, which makes both A and B correct. They do require less intense light compared to rods, which makes C incorrect as stated but in the context of the question implies their functionality in brighter light. D is also true because rods are indeed more numerous in the human retina than cones, being more sensitive to light and thus more useful in low-light conditions. Given that A, B, and D are correct statements about cones and their comparison to rods, E is the correct choice as it encompasses all these truths.
