Can dogs see color

 Can dogs see color? Yes....................and no. Dogs are similar to what us humans call colorblindness. They don't see many colors but they can distinguish blues very well. "humans have three types of photoreceptors in their eyes that transmit signals about color to the brain, dogs have two types of photoreceptors.".  this is a quote from my article. it tells us how dogs have different signals than us to determine colors.

I honesty don't feel like it maters all to much though. while dogs cant see color they an smell and hear extremely well. this makes up for the lack of color. a dogs smell is almost like how they see. that's how they tell people and things apart.

    Could there be a way to give dogs to let dogs see a wider range of color. There isn't really any reason to do it, but if we could then they would be the ultimate tracker. Dogs being able to see more color might open up more complicated way to train them.

    This is surprisingly common for a lot of animals and without seeing colors it can provide major disadvantages for animals like not finding food.

    I never knew that dogs could see some colors and not others, and this actually reminded me of a time my dog reacted differently to me because I had blue on. But besides that, this makes me wonder if dogs actually use patterns to help them distinguish objects as well, like other animals.

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future? And how will it impact future in sciences? We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
