The phrase "allocation of maternal" is not complete and lacks context, making it difficult to determine its correctness in written English.
It could be used in discussions related to resource distribution concerning maternal health or maternal care, but it needs additional context to clarify its meaning.
Example: "The allocation of maternal resources is crucial for improving healthcare outcomes for mothers and infants."
Alternatives: "distribution of maternal" or "assignment of maternal resources".
The parental conflict hypothesis postulates that genomic imprinting in mammals evolved because of conflicting maternal and paternal interests in the allocation of maternal resources to the offspring with paternally epressed genes enhancing and maternally epressed genes limiting feto-placental growth.
Clutch reduction by oviduct removal had no effect on neonate mass or snout-vent length, indicating that the number of embryos does not influence allocation of maternal resources once gestation has commenced.
Imprinting is thought to have evolved from a conflict between maternal and paternal genomes for the allocation of maternal resources.
Such expulsion of the female gametophyte has been previously described for the clotho (clo) mutant, and is suggested as a mechanism to hamper allocation of maternal resources to sterile tissue [33].
Glucocorticoids ingested through milk may, therefore, importantly contribute to the assimilation of AME, development of temperament, and orchestrate, in part, the allocation of maternal milk energy between growth and behavioral phenotype (Hinde 2013).
The founding member of the family, Meg1, is required for normal development of the basal endosperm transfer cell layer (BETL) and is involved in the allocation of maternal nutrients to growing seeds.
Furthermore, the overgrowth of mutant pups decreased in the face of increasing intrauterine competition, identifying a role for Cdkn1c in the allocation of the maternal resources via the placenta.
Thus, the observed differences may potentially result from differential female allocation of specific maternal components into the eggs (Tschirren et al. 2011) or from non-random distribution of EPO in the laying order (Magrath et al. 2009; Ferree et al. 2010).
The minimisation algorithm balanced allocation of treatment by maternal age, parity, and duration of subfertility.
Since the time and motion study was undertaken in the context of a trial on community-based newborn care, the allocation of time within maternal, newborn, and child health was of particular interest.
We investigated (1) the relationship between the sex allocation of offspring and maternal condition for 3 years, and (2) the effects of habitat saturation (mouse density and food condition) on birth sex ratios.
