Explanation of Solution
Anencephaly is a cephalic disorder that it is a serious birth defect that a baby is born without a major portion of the brain, skull and scalp that occurs during embryonic development. It results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the head end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day of conception. In history if the parents have had a child who was born with anencephaly, they have a larger chance of having another baby with this condition.
Thus, it a condition that prevents the normal development of the brain and the bones of the skull; in history if the parents have had a child who was born with anencephaly, they have a larger chance of having another baby with this condition.
