As a result, they have no ability to see colors, and no hue discrimi-nation whatsoever. Monochromatic vision is very similar to watching a black and white television program. Somebody with a-typical monochromatic vision has just one type of cone, and can see just one color, and various shades of that color. This form is even rarer than the "typical" monochro-matism.

It then divides the purine form of the sugar, making it independent and creating or destroying in order to build more molecules such as DNA. But PNP separates anti-cancer and other helpful agents , and destroys the therapy provided by those agents. The goal was to create a .....

Piaget's theory has a biological perspective to cognitive development and focuses on broad, qualitative stages. Another acknowledged theory is the information- processing theory which, approaches cognitive development from a computer accentuated perspective, and focuses on the more narrow, continuous, quantitative changes (Westen, 1996).
