Many organisms have a class of genes called ' heat shock proteins.' These genes are expressed at high levels when cells are exposed to high temperatures. once they are transcribed and translated, they help stabilize other proteins in the cell to protect them form the high temperature. What kind of response to the enviornment is the elevated expression of heat-shock proteins? - mutational response - direct response - gene-mediated response
