Aging populations are the most significant factor in population change in MEDCs. How valid is this view? (30) Throughout the world‚ MEDCs face the issue of an aging population and population change. This is due to the stage in which that county is according to the demographic transition model which indicates that as birth rates decline and death rate remain stagnant‚ an aging population is created. In the UK for example the baby boom of the 1950s due to increased confidence and the feeling of

Genetic models to explain heterosis Traditional genetic analyses of heterosis are based on the quantitative effects of the genes between two opposite inbred lines. Three major classical genetic models have been suggested to explain the hybrid vigor: the dominance hypothesis explains increased vigor to the action at multiple loci of favorable dominant
