Which of the following statements is not correct?
Options
- AAn action potential in an axon does not move backward because the segment behind is in a refractory phase
- BDepolarisation of hair cells of cochlea results in the opening of the mechanically gated potassium-ion channel
- CRods are very sensitive and contribute to daylight vision
- DIn the knee-jerk reflex, stimulus is the stretching of muscle and response is its contraction
Correct answer
C. Rods are very sensitive and contribute to daylight vision
Step-by-step solution
Option (c) is not correct because rods and cones are photoreceptor cells in our eyes. The rod cells contain a purple pigment rhodopsin that is useful in night vision or scotopic vision. Daylight (photopic) vision and colour vision are the functions of cones.
