Which statement correctly describes the characteristics of rods compared to cones?

Show Answers

Rods have lower sensitivity to light but detect colors better than cones.Rods are more sensitive to light and also perceive colors better than cones.Rods are highly sensitive to light but have limited color detection compared to cones.Rods neither respond to light nor detect colors unlike cones.

Explanation

Rods are specialized photoreceptors in the retina that are highly sensitive to light, enabling vision in low-light conditions, but they do not detect color as cones do. Therefore, rods are more sensitive to light but less sensitive to color than cones.
