Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So Rods are for scotopic vision. Well, cones are four as answer choice A we have dark vision B, photogenic vision, C photoop vision, the peripheral vision. Now we are told in the question that Rods which are part of the eye are going to be used for vision. And I want you to recall from previous videos that cones are going to be used for color vision and visual acuity, particularly in well led conditions. And this is going to be known as photoop vision. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is going to be C photoop vision. Now, answer choice is A B and they are going to be made of answers that do not really relate to the functions of either rods and cones. And therefore they're not going to be correct answers for this question. So I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
