What part of the eye allows us to see color?

• cones
• rods
• iris
• eyeball

The part of your eye that gives it its color.  It is a muscle that controls the size of your pupil.

• cornea
• lens
• pupi
• iris

Gathers information about color, shape, and size of eye and sends to the optic nerve.

• optic nerve
• Retina
• Neuron
• cornea

Proposed theory for color vision with opposing retinal process for red-green, yellow-blue, white-black.

• opponent process theory
• tri-chromatic theory
• frequency theory

Where does the optic nerve take the visual information?

• To the Thalamus and then to the Occipital Lobe
• to the Hippocampus and then to the Occipital Lobe
