The phrase "a function of offspring" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing biological, genetic, or ecological relationships where offspring play a role in a particular function or outcome.
Example: "The survival rate of the species is a function of offspring viability in their natural habitat."
Alternatives: "dependent on offspring" or "related to offspring".
In our mobility analysis, we compensated for different generation times, by comparing the variance of P− green with P+ green as a function of the number of offspring.
(D ) Average variance of P − green (red) and P+ green (black) within the colony as a function of the number of offspring N. Error bars: standard error as obtained from >50 sectors for each condition.
We found that the variance of the P− green cells increases more strongly as a function of the number of offspring than the variance of P+ green cells, indicating an increased mobility of P− green within a colony of wt bacteria.> -wrap-foot> Furthermore, segregation of strains with different pilus densities but similar growth rates was assessed.
Buch et al. [ 27] also showed that the number of daughters that need to be genotyped to replace their sires in the reference population is a function of the number of offspring underlying the sire's EBV but is independent of the number of sires.
Taken together, the present results showed that the maternal exposure to dioxins, either TCDD or TBDD, at a low dose perturbed higher brain function of offspring in a low-dose-specific manner.
Panel C shows g (x, t ′ | y, t ) as a function of y, given the offspring is unfit (blue) or fit (red).
To date, two other investigations have examined the impact of a post-weaning diet on the vascular function of offspring [ 14, 17].
Recent studies have shown a protective effect of vitamin C supplementation on the lung function of offspring exposed to in utero smoke in a non-human primate model and an initial human trial.
To date, though, only a few studies have examined the impact of both a prenatal and postnatal diet on the vascular function of offspring.
Therefore, it appears that the vascular function of offspring is impacted to a great extent by the prenatal environment, which may lead to a lifelong disease predisposition that cannot be undone with similar duraton postnatal diet interventions.
