Answer:
Explanation:
These people lack the enzyme, lactase, and cannot break down the sugar lactose into its component parts. Although lactose is similar to sucrose, lactase will break down only lactose because of the shape of the sugar. People who can digest or break down lactose are said to have Lactase persistence.
