Lactase refers to an enzyme that can dissociate lactose sugar into glucose and galactose. This enzyme plays an important role in the digestion of milk that comprises high lactose sugar. In case, if a mutation occurs in the gene codon of lactase, then two possibilities can take place. These are as follows:
1. Loss of mutation: In this case, the person becomes lactose intolerant because of mutation in lactase gene codon. Due to this, there is low mRNA expression and thus low production of the enzyme lactase. This is also known as lactase non-persistent phenotype.
2. Gain in mutation: In this case, the person gain an increase in mRNA expression of the lactase gene, thus more production of lactase takes place than usual. This kind of individual exhibits lactase persistent phenotype.
Answer:true
Explanation:
Yoga's origins can be traced to northern India over 5,000 years ago. The word yoga was first mentioned in ancient sacred texts called the Rig Veda. ... Yoga was refined and developed by Rishis (sages) who documented their practices and beliefs in the Upanishads, a huge work containing over 200 scriptures.
Answer:
C) 2.0 kb
Explanation:
It is given that out of the 4 nucleotides A, T, C & G each one has equal probability to occur at any position on the DNA molecule which simply means that the probability of occurrence of any nucleotide at a position is 1/4.
Also, it is given that probability of occurrence of either A or T at 3rd position is equal which means that the probability at that particular position will be 2/4 = 1/2.
Now, GA(A/T)TC is the DNA sequence where Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves so the total probability of an average HinfI cleavage fragment will be = 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 0.00195 = 0.2 i.e. 2 kb.
