Protein synthesis and chemicals in the body are factors that determine gene expression.

So what's the answer

The answer is both "protein synthesis" and "chemicals in the body" are factors that determine gene expression.

It can only be one answer

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is "protein synthesis." Protein synthesis is the process by which genetic instructions encoded in DNA are translated into proteins, which are the functional units that carry out various cellular processes. This process directly influences gene expression. Thus, protein synthesis is the primary factor that determines gene expression.

The correct answer is "temperature of the water." The temperature of the environment can influence gene expression in organisms. Changes in temperature can affect the activity of enzymes and other proteins involved in gene regulation, leading to changes in gene expression patterns.
