11. An individual who is heterozygous for rob(13;14) is at increased risk for having a child affected by Patau syndrome. Please briefly explain why.

because of Chromosome-13 rearranges with with other chromosome.

Explanation:

To understand and be and be able to solve or tackle this question effectively, there is need to know the meaning of the important terms in this question/problem.

- Robertsonian translocation: The term "Robertsonian translocation" simply refer to some kind of disorder in the chromosome in which a different kind of chromosome attach itself to another kind of chromosome, that is to say we have more than two fusion of chromosome that are different on chromosome 13, 14,15,21 and 22.

- Patau syndrome: The syndrome known as " Patau syndrome" is also refer to as Trisomy 13. The syndrome is a kind of abnormalities on the 13th chromosome known as chromosome 13. Patau syndrome patient will have more than two[usually three] kinds of chromosome.  

"An individual who is heterozygous for rob(13;14) is at increased risk for having a child affected by Patau syndrome. " is TRUE

A defect in  chromosome 13, that is to say the Robertsonian translocation on the 13th chromosome is what causes Patau syndrome. The Robertsonian translocation occurs by addition and subtraction of chromosomes, when there is addition on chromosome 13 or say the rearrangement of chromosome-13  with other chromosome, then, the individual's offspring has the tendency of developing Patau Syndrome.

there are mainly three domains in biological classification namely; archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.

archaea includes all the prokaryotic cells which are characterized by their lipid membranes. they have branched hydrocarbon which is attached to glycerol through an ether linkage.

bacteria includes all the prokaryotic cells, the cell membrane of which are made up of the unbranched fatty acid chain. in addition, they are attached to glycerol through an ester bond.

eukarya includes all the eukaryotic cells, that is, the cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound cell organelles.

they can be autotrophic as well as heterotrophic, unicellular as well as multicellular

they include kingdoms like protista, plantae, animalia, fungi et cetera.
