Which of the following is NOT true of the cones in the retina?

A) more useful than rods in bright light but less useful in dim light
B) responsible for color vision
C) located mostly in the peripheral areas of the retina
D) more numerous in the pigeon retina than in the rat retina

Cones

In the retina, specific cells called photoreceptors facilitate color vision and are most efficient in conditions of ample light.

Peripheral Areas

Regions or zones that are outside or on the edge of a central area, often implying a distance from a main or core location.

Pigeon Retina

The pigeon retina is a specific study subject in vision science, exploring how these birds perceive light and color, contributing to our understanding of avian vision and comparative physiology.
