Imagine that biologists have discovered an animal that has eyes very similar to human eyes,but that the only receptor cells in the retina are rods; there are no cones.What would you expect about this animal's vision,based on what is known about human vision

A)  It would be able to detect extremely fine details. 
B)  It would have poor peripheral vision. 
C)  It would have poor vision in low illumination. 
D)  It would have no colour vision.

Peripheral Vision

The part of vision that occurs outside the very center of gaze, involving the detection of movement and shapes but not detailed images, crucial for spatial awareness and detecting potential hazards.

Detail Detection

The process of noticing or discovering specific aspects or components of a larger entity or scene.

Low Illumination

Describes environments or settings that have insufficient lighting, which can affect visual performance and comfort.

  • Discriminate the unique roles and characteristics of rods versus cones within the context of visual perception.
