Question
Match the Photoreceptor Cells with Their Function:
i. Rods - 2. Black and white vision in dim light
ii. Cones - 1. Color vision under bright light
iii. Fovea - 3. Area with the highest concentration of cones for sharp vision
iv. Optic Nerve - 4. Transmits visual signals to the brain
- A. i-4, ii-2, iii-1, iv-3
- B. i-1, ii-3, iii-4, iv-2
- C. i-2, ii-1, iii-3, iv-4 (Correct answer)
- D. i-3, ii-4, iii-2, iv-1
Correct Answer
Option C — i-2, ii-1, iii-3, iv-4
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is i-2, ii-1, iii-3, iv-4.
Key Points
- Rods = dim light/black and white vision; Cones = bright light/color vision; Fovea = highest cone density for sharp central vision; Optic nerve = transmits signals to brain.
