Answer:

Valinomycin is an antibiotic that are mainly used against the bacteria streptomycin. The valinomycin might also acts as the ionophore used for the regulation of the ions transport.

Only some selected particles can pass down to the plasma membrane. The hydrophobic molecule can easily cross the plasma membrane. Valinomycin is hydrophobic on its exterior surface and easily diffuse through the cell membrane. Valinomycin is hydrophillic from the interior surface and used for the encapsulation of the polar ions.

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'.
