Answer 1

Rods detect light; cones detect green, blue, and red light; and the brain combines the three colors.

Explanation: Rods are sensitive to low light and provide black-and-white vision; cones are responsible for color vision and come in three types (sensitive to short/blue, medium/green, and long/red wavelengths), and the brain combines their signals to produce full-color perception.
