Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
5 0

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.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

They have some prokaryotic cells though they are being regarded as eukaryotes.

Explanation:

Cells are the basic functional unit of life

Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound nucleus while prokaryotic cells don’t have this.

The body of the tiger consists of different types of cells such as nerve cells, muscle cells, olfactory cells, digestive cells etc. An aggregation of these cells is what makes up the different types of systems ( digestive system, nervous system).

Though animals and human beings are widely regarded as eukaryotic they still possess some cells in the body which are prokaryotic. These prokaryotic cell include cilia which line the respiratory system.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

E. Anaphase

Explanation:

Metaphase is the phase of cell division during which all the chromosomes are lined along the cell's equator with help of spindle apparatus.

Metaphase is followed by anaphase during which the splitting of centromere separates sister chromatids from each other. The sister chromatids are now called daughter chromosomes. The daughter chromosomes move to opposite poles during anaphase.
