The phrase "allow offspring" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing reproduction, parenting, or biological processes where the ability to produce or raise young is relevant.
Example: "The environmental conditions in this habitat allow offspring to thrive and grow into healthy adults."
Alternatives: "permit reproduction" or "enable young to be born".
Scientists have hypothesised that the "evolutionary utility" of these milder effects is that they would allow offspring to somehow sense the "metabolic environment" (such as famine or plenty) into which it will be born, and programme its own metabolism to respond appropriately to that environment.
In some ways its two parents seem too incestuously close to allow offspring.
Plates were incubated at 20°C for 24 hr to allow offspring to hatch and then larvae, unfertilized oocytes and dead eggs were scored.
However, it has been suggested that mechanisms such as these could be a means of preparing the offspring for a hostile environment [12], which, in principle, could be an adaptive mechanism, allowing offspring to increase their fitness when faced with similar challenges as those experienced by the parents.
Consequently, females might engage in a cooperative strategy and nest communally, allowing offspring defense duties to be shared and potentially reducing the time the young are left alone.
Inbred--isofemale--lines are therefore established by isolating a single fertilized female and allowing offspring, including those from overlapping generations, to mate freely.
This is because within-generation plasticity requires each individual to assess and respond to an environmental cue, resulting in a lag time before the optimal phenotype is expressed, whereas nongenetic inheritance can reduce this lag (following the first generation of exposure) by allowing offspring to express the optimal phenotype immediately.
Maternal genotype effects are defined to be the direct effect of the maternal genotype on the offspring's quantitative trait, and parent-of-origin effects are defined (as in Weinberg et al. [1998]) to allow the offspring's quantitative trait to vary according to the parental origin of the variant allele, if present.
He hopes the ranch will eventually allow the offspring of its captive animals to grow up in the wild.
The act would allow the offspring of illegal immigrants in America to earn their citizenship.
But, lurking outside a primary school as parents arrived to pick up their children, Mr Knight fails to persuade two smartly dressed mothers to allow their offspring to accept Labour balloons.
