Cells in your eye are responsible fore seeing color are called:
A
cones
B
rods
C
organ of corti
D
iris cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cone cells, or cones, are photoreceptor cells in the retinas of vertebrate eyes including the human eye. They respond differently to light of different wavelengths, and the combination of their responses is responsible for color vision.

Detailed explanation-2: -A special property of the cone system is color vision. Perceiving color allows humans (and many other animals) to discriminate objects on the basis of the distribution of the wavelengths of light that they reflect to the eye.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are 2 types of photoreceptors: rods, which detect dim light and are used for night vision, and cones, which detect different colors and require brightly lit environments.

Detailed explanation-4: -The retina is covered with millions of light sensitive cells called rods and cones. When these cells detect light, they send signals to the brain. Cone cells help detect colors. Most people have three kinds of cone cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are three types of cone cells: Red-sensing cones (60 percent) Green-sensing cones (30 percent) and. Blue-sensing cones (10 percent)
