**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Photoreceptor Cells**: The retina contains two types of photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones. Rods are responsible for vision in low light conditions, while cones are responsible for color vision and function best in bright light. 2. **Identifying the Function of Cones**: Cones are active in well-lit conditions and are responsible for high spatial acuity, which means they help us see fine details and colors. 3. **Locating the Area of Interest**: Within the retina, there are specific areas where these photoreceptor cells are distributed differently. The question asks for the area that contains only cones and no rods. ...
