The phrase "direct progeny" is correct and usable in written English
It can be used in contexts discussing lineage, offspring, or descendants, particularly in biological or genealogical discussions.
Example: "The study focused on the direct progeny of the original plant species to understand its genetic variations."
Alternatives: "immediate descendants" or "direct offspring."
After all, "Luther" is, if not Jack's direct progeny, then certainly his nephew.
Differentiation happens when a cell changes its phenotype to that of its direct progeny - independent of cell division and hence label intensity is unaffected.
According to the standard view, isolates exhibiting the same fingerprinting pattern are considered direct progeny of the same bacterial clone, and most likely reflect ongoing transmission or disease relapse within individual patients.
These skeletalized fossils likely represent independent episodes of calcification [19], and all Paleozoic calcified orders of anthozoans became extinct by the end of the Permian, apparently without any direct progeny [20].
Most importantly, we never detected supernumerary neuroblast formation in the btd, brat double type II neuroblast clone, indicating that the direct progeny of the btd mutant type II neuroblast were insensitive to the loss of brat function.
It must be noted that, for all practical purposes, a direct progeny of such a reassortant may not be distinguishable from the original strain under this definition, particularly if the original strain has not been sampled.
Intriguingly, the percentage of CD24+CD29lo cells both rose and fell with a delayed kinetics following the expansion and regression of CD24+CD29hi cells, indicating that these cells may be direct progenies of CD24+CD29hi cells as has been suggested elsewhere [14].
Risk-matings were defined as matings with direct progenies of identified AS carriers.
The detection unit consists of an optimally designed wire-mesh capped Direct Radon Progeny Sensor (DRPS) system.
Interestingly, although activated astrocytes (the direct developmental progeny of the radial glia) remain within their lineage in vivo, they are able to give rise to self-renewing neurospheres and generate new astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes under more permissive in vitro conditions [ 38].
Direct downstream progenies of HSCs, termed short-term HSCs (ST-HSCs) and multipotent progenitor cells (MPPs), are progressively losing their self-renewal capability upon commitment.
