Answer:

The gene that controls production of white blood cells.

Explanation:

Influenza (the flu) is caused by a virus which attacks the respiratory system. The body system views the influenza virus as a foreign body and certain signals are passed to the immune system. The immune system is responsible for fighting infections and diseases and the major cells involved are the white blood cells(leukocytes).

This makes the gene that controls production of white blood cells to be widely expressed in the body of someone who contracts the influenza virus.

Farmers consider pesticides and fertilizers necessary to ensure successful farming. What problems are caused by the use if these
xenn [34]

The answer is <span>The increased nitrates from the fertilizers leech into the water and cause algal blooms, which take oxygen out of the water and this suffocates fish.</span>. 


Algae blooms are the consequence of large amounts of farm fertilizers in the rivers, which increases nitrates level in the water. Algae use the presence of increased nutrients and enhance their own growth. It is known that they produce an oxygen in the photosynthesis, so it is not a problem while they are still alive. But when these organisms die, their decomposition begins. For the process of decomposition, the oxygen is needed and ultimately it will be depleted from a body of water. This could lead to the death of aquatic animals, such as fish, that depend on oxygen.
