The statement that is not a characteristic of the cones in the eye is:
**They distinguish black, white, and gray.**
Cones are primarily responsible for color vision, and they are sensitive to different wavelengths of light corresponding to red, green, and blue. In contrast, the perception of black, white, and gray is mainly the function of rods, which are more sensitive in low light conditions but do not provide color information.
