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.

Explain how individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors.
irga5000 [103]
Individual and public health are affected by environmental and genetic factors is a statement which reflects reality. Firstly, susceptibility to certain diseases usually or often runs in a family so that if there is say, diabetes in the father and grandmother for example, the son or daughter has more chances of getting it so this is a genetic susceptibility.. Also, some families are more prone to cancer so that given the right circumstances, cancer can develop. So it is usually a combination of both genetic and environmental causes that results in a disease. An example of public health could be when smallpox was deliberately introduced to the First Nations people in British Columbia, Canada back in the 1800's to decimate them and remove their resistance to the gold mining hordes. Since the First Nations had no anti-bodies to counteract such a disease unlike the white men who introduced it to them, then they easily fell prey to it and died within days of contracting it.
