A prominent example of the dual inheritance theory is the culture — gene coevolution between cattle milk protein genes and human lactase genes (Beja - Pereira et al. 2003), whereby the cultural propensity for milk consumption in humans has led to genetic selection for milk protein genes in cattle and gene encoding
lactase in humans.

lactase, or milk to which lactobacillus acidophilus has been added) for students with lactose intolerance.
If lactose intolerance is a problem, the baby can receive
lactase drops, available without prescription, just before or after the feeding, but this is rarely necessary
in breastfeeding babies.
Congenital
lactase deficiency: an extremely rare inherited disorder
in which a baby is born with very little or none of the enzyme that breaks down the sugar lactose found
in milk, causing life - threatening lactose intolerance symptoms
Primary
lactase deficiency — a rare condition
in which is born without the enzyme to digest the sugar lactose
However, lactose is protected by the antibacterial and enzymatic qualities of breastmilk.18 Furthermore,
lactase enzyme splits lactose into glucose and galactose
in the intestines, rather than
in the mouth.
Lactose intolerance is uncommon
in babies — most babies have normal quantities of
lactase (the enzyme needed to break down lactose).
Since the body doesn't produce enough
lactase, some of the lactose may not get broken down
in the small intestine, so it passes into the large intestine, where bacteria then may ferment it, producing gas and acid.
The enzyme
lactase increases
in the digestive tract
in the third prenatal trimester, so babies born early might not have had the chance for their digestive tract to develop properly.
This extremely rare issue,
in which a baby is born with a complete lack of
lactase, is inherited through a gene from both mother and father.
Lactose intolerance occurs when someone doesn't make enough
lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose
in the intestine.
Sometimes a baby can be born with a condition called primary
lactase deficiency or with galactosemia,
in which they can't tolerate breast milk.
Shulman, R.J., Wong, W.W. & Smith, E.O. Influence of changes
in lactase activity and small - intestinal mucosal growth on lactose digestion and absorption
in preterm infants.
Lactose Intolerance: Lactose intolerance is caused by not having enough of the enzyme
lactase, which is needed to break down lactose, the sugar found
in milk and other dairy products.
In many cases, even children with a lactase deficiency may tolerate some lactose in their diet, such as a scoop of ice cream, or milk on their cereal, but only experience symptoms when they have «too much milk.&raqu

Lactase products are mainly designed to be added to expressed breastmilk (or other milk) and left overnight for the enzyme to predigest the lactose
in the milk.
Lactase enzyme splits lactose into glucose and galactose
in the intestines, rather than
in the mouth, reducing the risk of tooth decay.
Because the enzyme
lactase is produced
in the very tips of the microscopic folds of the intestine, anything that damages the gut lining can cause secondary lactose intolerance.
People who don't produce enough of the enzyme
lactase can not properly digest the sugar lactose that is found
in milk and dairy products.
If your toddler is lactose intolerant, it means that her body doesn't produce enough

in breast milk and formula that some infants have trouble digesting.
However, as you might guess, this approach tends to be less reliable than placing

in the milk because there are fewer complicating factors
in the milk container than

Over time, these epigenetic changes build up and inactivate the
lactase gene
in some — but not all — individuals.
«Now, we know that epigenetic factors accumulate at a very different pace

In several groups of people, a gene variant allowing the lactase, the enzyme breaking down the sugar in milk, to persist into adulthood became common about 5000 to 7000 years ago, when humans were herding cattle — as evidenced by this rock painting of domestic cattle in the Jebel Acacus region of the Sahara desert in Liby
