Gene expression is influenced by a variety of factors, including:
1. **Chemicals in the body** - Various signaling molecules, hormones, and metabolites can affect gene expression.
2. **The brain** - Neurological signals and neurotransmitters can influence gene expression in response to environmental factors and behaviors.
3. **Senescence** - The process of aging can alter gene expression patterns.
4. **Protein synthesis** - Although protein synthesis is a result of gene expression, the availability of proteins can also feedback and influence gene expression.
Given these options, any of these factors can be considered determinants of gene expression to varying degrees, but "chemicals in the body" is a strong choice since it directly relates to the molecular mechanisms that regulate it.
