Answer: Alpha Feroprotein Assay
Step-by-step explanation:
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is used to detect neural tube defects in a developing child. Alpha fero-protein is produced in the liver of a developing fetus. During a baby's development, some AFP passes through the placenta and into the mother's blood. An AFP test measures the level of AFP in pregnant women during the second trimester of pregnancy. Too much or too little AFP in a mother's blood may be sign of a birth defect or other condition, which include, neural tube defect, a serious condition that causes abnormal development of a developing baby's brain and/or spine
