Expressions are a fundamental aspect of communication, encompassing a wide range of forms and purposes. They can be verbal or non-verbal and are used to convey thoughts, feelings, ideas, or information.

In the arts, expression is the conveyance of emotion or feeling through creative works, such as music, painting, or acting. An artist's use of color, form, or sound can be described as their mode of expression[1][3].

In genetics, expression refers to the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to direct the assembly of a protein molecule, wh...
