The receptors in the retina which allow you to see pictures of the world around you are called photoreceptor cells. They are of two types; rods and cones. rods help to see non-color images and enhance night vision (the ability to see in dark). The photoreceptors which enable us to see colored images are the cones. They are mainly concentrated in the fovea centralis, or the yellow spot, which is situated on the principle axis of the lens on the retina.

What molecule is most responsible for determining an organisms eye color body structure and cellular enzyme production?
DNA is the molecule most responsible for determine traits such as eye color, body structure, and cellular enzyme production.
What structure gives color to the eye?
The iris.
What part of the eye is responible for color?
Assuming you mean the part of the eye responsible for seeing color... There are two types of photoreceptors in the retina: rods and cones. The cones are responsible for seeing color. (The easy way to remember it is cones and color start with c.)
What is the color portion of the eye?
The pigmentation of the eye's iris and the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris. The iris, irides, and/or irises is a thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupils and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. "Eye color" is the color of the iris, which can be green, blue, or brown. In some cases it can be hazel, which is a combination of light brown, green and gold, grey, violet, or even pink. In response to the amount of light entering the eye, muscles attached to the iris expand or contract the aperture at the center of the iris, known as the pupil. The larger the pupil, the more light can enter.
What do cones cells in your eye allow our eye to do?
Cones are a special type of photoreceptor cell in the retina that allow you to see brighter light than "rods" (a different type of photoreceptor cell), particularly to see color. The brain interprets the response of cones to the different wavelengths of light in order to perceive color in this way.
What molecule is most responsible for determining an organisms eye color body structure and cellular enzyme production?
DNA is the molecule most responsible for determine traits such as eye color, body structure, and cellular enzyme production.
Which structure of the eye is responsible for sperm production?
Sperm is manufactured in the testicles - not the eye !
What structure gives color to the eye?
The iris.
Are your DNA or Genes responsible for your eye color?
its nothing realy its just that u get your eye and hair color from your parents genes....i think

What are some inherited traits of Sumatran tigers?
fur color, eye color,
What does the cone in the eye do?
The cones in your eye are responsible for helping you to see color. They are in the retina and operate only in light. The rods are the other receptors.

What is different about the eyes of a color blind person?
If your color blindness is genetic (as opposed to having been caused by trauma or neurological issues), the only part of the eye 'affected' would be the cones, that part of the eye responsible for discerning color.
What cellular structure responsible for the green color in plants?
vacuoles are responsible but if u wanna get nitty n gritty its the stuff in the water that's in the vacuoles
2 What structure in a plant cell is responsible for the green color of plants?
The chloroplast is. It contains chlorophyll, which gives off the green color.
