Solution

If the gene for the formation of cones in retina becomes recessive, it results in a disease known as cone dystrophy. The disease affects the cone cells of the retina that become damaged. This results in a variety of symptoms including decreased visual clarity (acuity) when looking straight ahead (central vision), a reduced ability to see colors and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia).
