| 41. | Genetic analysis shows lactase persistence has developed several times in different places independently in an example of convergent evolution.
|
| 42. | For one week, they got milk that was treated with the enzyme lactase to break down the milk sugar.
|
| 43. | Each disaccharide is broken down with the help of a corresponding disaccharidase ( sucrase, lactase, and maltase ).
|
| 44. | The optimum temperature for human lactase is about 37 �C for its activity and has an optimum pH of 6.
|
| 45. | Lactose in food ( such as dairy products ) is broken down by the enzyme lactase into glucose & galactose.
|
| 46. | The greater diversity of lactase persistence alleles in Africa is said to be the product of a soft selective sweep.
|
| 47. | In contrast, for societies which did not engage in pastoral behaviors, no selective advantage exists for lactase persistence.
|
| 48. | Stupid question, but, in lactase persistent, is lactose digested into glucose and consequently raises blood glucose levels?
|
| 49. | Perhaps the genetic variation that is abnormal is the one that allows producing a lot of lactase after you are weaned.
|
| 50. | Finally, lactase, the enzyme that helps break down lactose, can be purchased in pill form and taken with meals.
