Answer:

The cones detect the brightness and the rods the colors.

Explanation:

Thanks to a layer of photoreceptors inside the eye, it is able to convert the captured light into brain signals.

There are two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones.

  • Rods: they allow the human eye to have a visual acuity (the eye's ability to resolve and perceive small details in an object) and to differentiate <u>colors</u>.
  • Cones: are in charge of detecting the <u>intensity of the light</u>. They are very numerous and are very sensitive. Not being able to distinguish colors, they give rise to an achromatic vision.

Rods work very well in darkness/ low light. Cones process colors.

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, often new viruses are assembled and released when the host bacterial cell is lysed. If th
sergey [27]

The correct answer is: The virus has entered the genome of the bacterial cell and is in the lysogenic stage

Lytic cycle and lysogenic cycle are types of a bacteriophage’s life cycle.

Lytic cycle can be divided in stages:

• Attachment-viruses binds to the receptor on the surface of bacterial cell, usually it uses tail for the attachment

• Entrance-virus injects its genome material (DNA or RNA) into bacteria cell

• Replication and protein synthesis-virus uses mechanism of bacteria to replicate its genome and produce proteins. As a consequence, a huge number of new viruses are formed

• Lysis- viruses express protein for the bacterial lysis (bacterial cell expand and burst) and hundreds of new phages are released.

Lysogenic cycle is different: bacteriophage’s genetic material-prophage, integrates into the host bacterium's genome or forms circular replicon in the bacterial cytoplasm. Bacterium continues to live and reproduce normally but prophage can be transmitted to daughter cells.
