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.
The fourth one that looks like an M. This is because it describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values. In this case, the variance of the trait increases and the population is divided into two distinct groups.
Ribosomes make up the proteins within the cell.
Explanation:
Plants are producers as they use energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. ... Herbivore: Herbivores are animals which only consume plants. Carnivore: Carnivores are animals which only consume other animals. Omnivore: Omnivores are animals which consume both plants and animals.
