Question

Rods and cones of eyes are modified:

• A. Multipolar neuron
• B. Unipolar neuron
• C. Bipolar neuron
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Bipolar neuron

Retina of the eye consist of two types of photoreceptors - rods and cones. These both photoreceptors are for controlling the vision of light. Rods are responsible for low light vision and cones are responsible for day-light vision. These photoreceptors are the modified bipolar neurons that consist of one axon and one dendrite, and the dendrite is also modified in nature.

Unipolar neuron has one protoplasmic process called neurite, and multipolar neuron has one axon and many dendrites.
