PDGF-AL transgenic mice of line 8 were fertile and their offspring were vital at birth until the approximate age of one and a half month after which most of these mice developed significant skull enlargement and died (Figure 2A).
Investigating the best means for maintaining contact with infected mothers and their offspring is vital for successful HIV management.
As long as AIDS continues to threaten African women, including married women, and their offspring, condoms are vital.
In order to measure paternal genetic contribution to fitness it is vital to obtain proper estimates of offspring genetic quality, preferably the total number of grandchildren produced [ 7, 60, 96].
We examined twenty different phenotypic traits in both males and females, encompassing vital rates (survival and fecundity), maternal reproductive performance (offspring birth weight, birth date and survival), male rutting behaviour, home range measures, parasite burdens, and body mass.
The role of parents is vital in facilitating sustainable lifestyle behaviour in their offspring, and early childhood is a critical period in the acquisition of food preferences and physical activity habits.
Assessing the relative contributions of parent-to-offspring inheritance and gene sharing is a vital step in understanding the evolutionary origins and modern-day function of an organism, but recovering and showing these relationships is a challenging problem.
Yes, in 2014, it wasn't Fairhead's extensive experience, nor her prior professional roles that were considered most vital to inform the reader about this story, but the fact that she had offspring.
In the second generation follow-up (proportion of participation: 75%), we had 49 female offspring born after 1968, among them 42 allowed us to access their vital statistic records.
Such demonstration is vital to confirm the underlying assumption that indirect benefits result in an increase in F1 offspring fitness [ 22].
