The purple color of potassium permanganate gradually spreads throughout the water in the jar by the process of diffusion.

  • Diffusion is the process of movement of a substance from the region of higher concentration to the regions of lower concentration. Diffusion occurs in liquids as well as gases.
  • Potassium permanganate is a purple color compound, when it is added in a jar of water it spreads throughout the water by the virtue of diffusion.
  • The concentration of potassium permanganate is higher at one point and the other regions in the jar have its nil or low concentrations initially, this leads to the set up of a concentration gradient.
  • As time passes diffusion occurs and the particles of potassium permanganate keep on migrating to the regions of low concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout the jar. Ultimately, it spread throughout the jar making the water purple.

For most genes on the human x chromosome, what percent of xy males with a mutant allele on the x chromosome will express the mut
LuckyWell [14K]

For most genes on the human X chromosome, 100% of XY males with mutant allele on the X chromosome will express the mutant phenotype.

50 % of human sperm cells that carry an X chromosome. There is 50 % chances that daughter of any male will not carry the gene and can't pass it on and 50 % chance that sons do not have the gene and it will be healthy. 50% chance that son have inherited the gene and express the trait or disorder.

If a Egg is fertilizes by sperm with X chromosome then zygote will be a female ' XX'. If the Egg is fertilizes by sperm with Y chromosome , then zygote will be male 'XY'.
