Question
The Zerons have the same photo transduction mechanism as humans but instead of rhodopsin,
their active photo pigment is called zirtricon. This pigment gets activated upon receiving a spectrum
of wavelengths that does not exist on earth.
Considering that the rest of photo transduction pathway is the same as in humans, what device or
molecular therapy would you design to allow photo transduction (activation of zitricon or anything
else along the pathway of photo transduction) to occur in Zerons' retina to allow a Zerons to see on
earth should you invite one to earth? Clarification: Think of the photo transduction pathway and all
the steps in it and at what step or steps could you intervene with your scientific genius allow the
cascade of events to occur to allow an action potential to be generated in the ganglion cells of
Zerons' retina.
