What type of photoreceptor cell allows us to see gray tones in dim light, and provides our peripheral vision

Rods.

Explanation:

There are two types of photoreceptor cells, the cones, and the rods.

The cones adapt our vision to bright light and allow us to see colors. On the other hand, rods photoreceptors make us see in the dark and do not perceive many colors; that is why we can not distinguish colors in the dark. Also, they provide peripheral vision since they are on the external edges of the retina.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
