Connection between Lactose Intolerance and Lac Operon?


What does Lactose Intolerance have to do with the Lac Operon? How are they connected? Please provide solid source. Also links of pictures/diagrams (of the intestine where lactase is found) explaining Lactose Intolerance will be greatly appreciated.

lactose operon is in bacteria, not humans. The only link is one of the genes - lacZ in the lac operon encodes beta-galactosidase (or lactase), which is the enzyme that breaks down lactose and in humans the lack thereof (or reduced expression) results in lactose intolerance
