The correct answer is: the short half-life of edrophonium makes it impractical for long-term.

Edrophonium is used for the diagnostic of myasthenia gravis. In patient with myasthenia gravis, the body produces autoantibodies which inhibit nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the neuromuscular junction. Edrophonium, on the other hand, is acetylcholinesterase inhibitor which blocks the effect of acetylcholinesterase enzymes (AcH stays in synaptic cleft).

Substitution for the edrophonium is pyridostigmine which is also acetylcholinesterase inhibitor but with long-term maintenance.

Please help I don’t understand this!!! I’ll mark you as brainliest if correct.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Aa

Explanation:

In Punnett Square, you are bringing the letters on the top to the numbered squares, if that makes sense. It is to predict the genotype of offspring.

So square 1, on the left is A, and on the top is A, so it would be AA.

For square 2, on the left is a, and on the top is A, so it would be Aa.

For square 3, on the left is A, and on the top is A, so it is AA.

Square 4, your question, has a on the left, and A on the top, so it is Aa.

Hope it makes sense. You should probably watch a Punnett Square tutorial online or something for a full and more general explanation.
