Technological advances which occurred as a result of the process of industrialisation meant that death rates fell and at the same time, birth rates remained high resulting in an increasing population. Why did death rates fall as a result of industrialisation? * Improved nutrition - The agricultural revolution accompanied the industrial revolution meaning that there was a better supply of food * Awareness of the causes of diseases such as cholera - which meant plans could be implemented to prevent them * More people were earning more money which improved their quality of life in terms of the food etc they could afford to buy Answered by Moondance - Sat Apr 25 11:24:42 2009 You are maintaining a small population of fruit flies in the laboratory by transferring the flies to a new cu? Q. You are maintaining a small population of fruit flies in the laboratory by transferring the flies to a new culture bottle after each generation. After several generations, you notice that the viability of the flies has decreased greatly. Recognizing that small population size is likely to be linked to decreased viability, the best way to reverse this trend is to A)cross your flies with flies from another lab. B)reduce the number of flies that you transfer at each generation. C)transfer only the largest flies. D)change the temperature at which you rear the flies. E)shock the flies with a brief treatment of heat or cold to make them more hardy. Asked by Legend360 - Fri Dec 19 02:15:42 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A.

All it says is "in the 1900s, Virginia lost a seat to Maine as a result of its population growing faster than Maine's". That's just the definition of the paradox all over again.
