Question

People who are known to be lactose intolerant do not produce to the lactose digesting enzyme, lactase. This happens because the lactase producing gene is shut off in their cells connected to the digestive system. Which of the following process is not occurring for the mentioned gene?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Gene regulation is the mechanism of controlling expression of genes in a cell's DNA. For a gene to work and produce its protein, it must get transcribed. If it is not transcribed then its protein will not be formed. Similarly, if lactase is not formed in a lactose intolerant individual that means the gene for making the enzyme is not getting transcribed in the intolerant person.
