Answer:

Juan's red and green-sensitive cones are not functional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite process theory - Color perception is due to opposite responses of three pairs of colors- red vs. green, blue vs. yellow, and black vs. white.

Damage to one of those three cones can affect seeing its opposite, and that color itself
