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.

Assume all are homozygous. Alleles: A=agouti, C=chinchilla, a=albino, A is dominant over C and a, C is dominant over a.
Luden [163]

Answer:

The punnet square can be completed as follows:

       C        C

A    AC       AC

A    AC       AC

The results from the punnet square show that all of the offsprings form will be agouti as agouti is the dominant trait. However, the genotype of the offspring will be heterozygous carrying the alleles AC.

A dominant trait is the trait which arises due to a dominant allele. The dominant allele masks the effect of the recessive allele.

A heterozygous genotype occurs when the alleles of a gene are different.
