In fruit flies, genetic characteristics that are typical of southern, warm-climate insects are becoming more common in northern latitudes.

Human dignity can not be equated with either the biological development or genetic characteristics as this contradicts the human person as subject of freedom.

Distinctive genetic characteristics have arisen, however, primarily as the result of small groups of people moving into new environmental circumstances.

In addition, individual genetic characteristics can also contribute to these injection-site sarcomas.

Evidence that the discrete population segment differs markedly from other populations of the species in its genetic characteristics.
