What are some differences between industrial, post-industrial, and transitional societies?

What will be an ideal response?


A major difference is growth rate. In industrial societies, the growth rate is relatively low and may even be zero since birth rates tend to be very close to death rates. In post-industrial societies, the birth rate is usually lower than the death rate so populations have a negative growth rate. In transitional societies, the birth rate is much higher than the death rate so that the populations are increasing rapidly. Other differences include the use of goods and raw materials, which tend to be much higher in industrial and post-industrial societies than in transitional populations.

The length of monkey flower leaves is inherited as an incomplete dominant trait. When long leaves are crossed with short leaves a third phenotype, intermediate leaves, is produced. A plant breeder crosses two monkey flowers. The resultant offspring are 58 intermediate and 52 short-leafed plants. What are the phenotypes of the parent monkey flowers? Explain your answer
