Question

Research finds that the _____ gene is involved in initiation of the fight-or-flight response, and that women may use a different genetic mechanism in coping with stress.

Answer 1

Answer:

SRY

Explanation:

The SRY gene provides instructions for making a protein called the sex-determining region Y protein. This protein is involved in male-typical sex development, which usually follows a certain pattern based on an individual's chromosomes. Individuals with SRY develop into males, while those without it develop into females. SRY is involved with fight-or-flight, so women would be significantly impacted as they are without the SRY gene.
