The enzyme 'Chymosin' is present in infants but is absent when the infant turns into an adult.
Explanation:
The enzyme CHYMOSIN is also known as rennin. It is a proteolytic enzyme. As the enzyme is responsible for coagulating milk in stomach which is a process of "considerable importance" in the infant stage rather than an adult stage.
So, the enzyme is present in the infant stage and not in the adult stage. This is found in animals such as pigs and cats. This enzyme is lacked in humans.
