Explain to your lab mate the health risk associated with consuming a diet low in vitamin K along with the ingestion of antibiotics over multiple days. How would the termination of antibiotic treatment help to remove this health risk?

Vitamin K, a fat soluble vitamin is rich in green leafy  vegetables,and also produced by bacterial in the intestine.

Its major function is blood clotting or arrest of bleeding to prevent blood loss.

Antibiotics especially with Cephalosporins,reduces Vit. K absorption in the intestine. Intake of these antibiotic kill the targeted bacterial together with the the bacteria which produces Vit. K in the intestine.

Hence when antibiotic is taken  with low level of Vit, K the individual is prone to excessive bleeding or haemorrhage,because the concentration of the vitamins is further depleted.

If the medication is stopped,the condition will improve because the bacteria which produces Vt K can resumes the secretions,and its absorption will resume

Ok first of all, commenter below me, lol I applaud you

To answer your question:
Females have two X chromosomes, while males have an X AND Y. I took Bio last semester but I’m almost positive that sex linked disorders are linked to the X chromosome.
Females have two X chromosomes, as I said before. If one X is defected with coding for the disorder, the other X takes the lead and covers for the disorder-coding X. That’s why women are less affected, because if one X is messed up they have that extra X (or should I say Xtra X lol wow puns sorry) to cover up. So in women, diseases can be masked.
In males, however, they rarely can. If we already said that sex linked disorders are related to the X chromosome, what can we infer about men, who only have one X? They lack that second X to cover up. So if one X, their only X, is defected, there is no other cover up. The Y is a totally different chromosome that doesn’t even relate to the disorder. Thus, men are especially vulnerable to disorders that run in families, while females are more protected by that extra X. And for the previous commenter, I think women win this one...
