Gene expression is primarily determined by several factors, including:
- Chemicals in the body (such as hormones, nutrients, and signaling molecules)
- Protein synthesis (the production of proteins based on gene instructions)
- Environmental factors (such as temperature, stress, and toxins)
Out of the options provided, the most relevant factors affecting gene expression would be "chemicals in the body" and "protein synthesis."
