Gene expression within the body is controlled by the cells, which determine when a specific gene should or should not be expressed. Influenza (the flu) is caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory system. Which type of gene is likely to be widely expressed in the body of someone who contracts the influenza virus?

Respuesta :

Answer: The gene that controls the production of white blood cells will be widely expressed

Explanation: White blood cells fight off viruses so when a virus is detected the genes for white blood cells will be activated.

Gene expression is a method by which the cells uses the information to produce the functional end products that can be used by the body. Expression of the genes is a controlled event.

  • Influenza is a common viral disease in which the respiratory system is concerned.

  • The common sign of the infection involves fever, muscle pain and cough.

  • In humans, influenza is caused by the virus B and C.

  • After the viral infection, the body generates cells to combat the virus and to confer immunity these types of cells are called White blood cells.

  • White blood cells are produced in the bone marrow of humans and are stored in the blood and lymph systems.

Therefore, the genes that control the production of white blood cells will be produced.
