Lactose intolerance is basically a digestive problem in which the body of organism is not able to digest a sugar present in milk and milk products, called lactose.

It is caused by the absence or very low quantity of enzyme lactase that digest the lactose.

The lactose enzyme is primarily a protein molecule, which is synthesized from the transcription and translation of particular gene (segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein) specific for the lactase. The genetic information for the enzyme is thus carried by the chromosomes, which possess genes on it.

Thus, lactose intolerance is the result of a mutated message in the chromosomes.
