What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?

It's called the blind spot - it can't detect light because there are no light sensitive receptor cells located here.

What cells of the retina detect light?
the answer is photoreceptors. search photoreceptors to figure out what they are.
What is the name of the light sensitives cells within the eye?
There are two types called rods, which a simply sensitive to light and dark, and cones which are sensitive to colours. Both types are found on the retina but the rods dipsersed evenly over the surface whereas cones are concentrated on an area called the fovea.
What part of the eye are responsible for color vision?
The part of the eye which enables us to see colour are the millions of cones. Rods, on the other hand, enable night vision, but can only help one see black, white and shades of grey.
Is color detected in the retina or brain?
The cones in your retina (specialized nerve cells) detect different colours. This information is sent to your brain which interprets the information, allowing you to perceive certain colours.
Photosensitive receptor cells of the retina make the perception of color possible?
cones
What are the cells of the retina that detect color?
cones for color,rod are for black and white
What light sensitive cells in the eye detct color?
The cones, located in the retina, detect color.
What are the cones in the retina for?
cones help us to see color
What are the photoreceptor cells of the eye called?
Cones help you see color and detail; rods see in black and white and detect movement in your peripheral vision.

What eye cell does not detect color?
The rods in the retina of the eyes are sensitive to low levels of light and movement. The cones are the ones that are sensitive to color and intensity, so the rods do not see color.
How can pixels generate a color image?
They fool your eyes - really your brain. Note that you don't see color, you detect frequency distributions (rods and cones of the retina) which your brain translates into colors for you.
A person who lacks cones in the retina will experience?
color blindnesss

What parts of the eye helps us see color?
Light travels through the pupil to the cones, which lie on the inside of the eye. It is these photoreceptors that allow the perception of color.
