| 1. | Cones that gained the missing genes began expressing the new photopigment.
|
| 2. | If a person lacks two types of photopigments, they are considered monochromats.
|
| 3. | In plants, bilins also serve as the photopigments of the photoreceptor protein phytochrome.
|
| 4. | The outer cell segment contains a photopigment.
|
| 5. | Photosensitive ganglion cells contain the photopigment melanopsin.
|
| 6. | The subject should first be evaluated to identify which photopigment they need to gain trichromacy.
|
| 7. | Three different photopigments have been retained and are sensitive to UV, blue, and green.
|
| 8. | In medical terminology, " photopigment " commonly refers to the photoreceptor proteins of the retina.
|
| 9. | People lacking the three types of photopigments are said to have complete color blindness or achromatopsia.
|
| 10. | Therefore, there is a functional redundancy between the three photopigments in the photoentrainment pathway of mammals.
