Detailed explanation-1: -The SI gene provides instructions for producing the enzyme sucrase-isomaltase . This enzyme is found in the small intestine and is responsible for breaking down sucrose and maltose into their simple sugar components. These simple sugars are then absorbed by the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrase, another activity of the dextrinase/isomaltase enzyme, cleaves sucrose to glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-3: -The enzyme sucrase, which is made by the lining of your small intestine, splits sucrose into glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Invertase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis (breakdown) of sucrose (table sugar) into fructose and glucose.
