Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The auditory hair cells in the cochlea are responsible for converting sound waves into neural signals, similar to the way the rods and cones in the retina convert light waves into neural signals. Thus, the correct analogy would be between the auditory hair cells in the cochlea and the rods and cones in the retina.
