Does every human eye see the same visible spectrum? Also, you've somewhat confused the women having a fourth type of cone too. What happens in some women is that they have two variants of the same colour photoreceptor (red, almost aways). |

Does every human eye see the same visible spectrum? This is not entirely correct, there are multiple variants of each of the three colour photoreceptors that have slightly different response curves. I do not know whether these variants result in different minimum and maximum sensitivities. |

What is a Mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosomal Adam I'd note that if they have a direct female lineage to Mitochondrial Eve's sister then that would make their mother the true Mitochondrial Eve. Whilst the estimate may be inexact, there must be a mitochondrial eve at some point in our ancestry. |

Why is blood pressure higher the more distal an artery is? Your figure is dealing with different types of blood vessel, not the change in pressure in a single type of blood vessel. It answers a different question. |
