A mutation in the genes for salivary amylase will greatly affect the chemical digestion of what?
Amylase is responsible for the digestion of starches in the body. If a mutation occurred in the genes coding for the production of amylase, this would interfere with the body's ability to digest starches and other complex carbohydrates (which begins in the mouth with enzymes from the salivary glands).
How do you collect salivary amylase?
mouth
