Question

Is the variation associated with lactose tolerance found always on one chromosome, both chromosomes, or either chromosome in individuals with the trait? Explain your answer. The mutation associated with lactose tolerance keeps the lactase gene turned on in adults. Based on the sequence and pedigree data, what can you infer about the regulation of the lactase gene in Individual IV-3? That is, is the gene turned on or off in adulthood?

Step 1

- Lactose tolerance in adults is due to a mutation that keeps the lactase gene (LCT) turned on. This mutation is typically found in a regulatory region upstream of the LCT gene. Show more…
