Question

How can a mutation give adults the the ability to digest milk? ​

Answer 1

A single point mutation in the DNA near the lactase gene changes the cytosine (C) nucleotide to a thymine (T). Individuals with the thymine (T) nucleotide are lactose tolerant and can digest the milk products in adulthood.
