The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of the Mammalian Eye**: - The mammalian eye consists of three main layers: the fibrous tunic, the vascular tunic, and the neurosensory layer. - The fibrous tunic includes the sclera (the white part of the eye) and the cornea (the transparent front part of the eye). 2. **Identifying the Layers of the Eye**: - The vascular tunic consists of the choroid, ciliary body, and iris. - The neurosensory layer, also known as the retina, contains the photoreceptor cells (rods and cones). 3. **Understanding the Function of Photoreceptor Cells**: - Rod cells are responsible for vision in low light conditions (scotopic vision) and are more sensitive to light. - Cone cells are responsible for color vision and function best in bright light (photopic vision). 4. **Locating the Fovea**: - The fovea is a specific area on the retina that is responsible for sharp central vision. - It is characterized by a high density of cone cells and the absence of rod cells. 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - The question provides four options regarding the characteristics of the fovea: - More rods than cones are found. - Cones are absent. - High density of cones occurs, with no rods present. - Only rod cells are present. 6. **Determining the Correct Answer**: - The correct statement about the fovea is that it has a high density of cone cells and no rod cells. - Therefore, the answer is: "High density of cone cells occurs, with no rods present."
