What would be the effect of a mutation in the coding region of the lactase gene?
Fynjy0 [20]

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.

Due to diarrhea, kidney don't work properly and level of urea increases in blood

Due to the low carbohydrate intake, ketosis occurs in which stored fat is metabolized which results in build up of acids called ketones

If the body starts to use energy sources other than carbohydrates then it means it is using the stored energy, gluconeogenesis fulfills glucose requirement of cell by synthesis of glucose from non carbohydrate material

To supply with energy lipid metabolism occurs, fatty acids are oxidized and energy in the form of ATP is produced
