Answer:

The <em>opportunity cost</em> is a <em>potential gain you lose by choosing one particular alternative over the other</em>. It is the highest benefit of another alternative that you did not choose.  

Let us look at the <u>given example</u>. Say, you earn 10 dollars per hour. It means that you need to work for three hours to be able to buy new clothes for 30$. Meanwhile, you do not enjoy your summer job and would be much happier to spend these three hours hiking with your dog. <u>The joy you have lost</u> by choosing the alternative of earning these 30$ to be able to buy new clothes, is the opportunity cost.

Differentiate between American foreign policy during the isolationist period and foreign policy during the Cold War
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

If isolationism has become outdated, what kind of foreign policy does the United States follow? In the years after World War II, the United States was guided generally by containment — the policy of keeping communism from spreading beyond the countries already under its influence. The policy applied to a world divided by the Cold War, a struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, containment no longer made sense, so in the past ten years, the United States has been redefining its foreign policy. What are its responsibilities, if any, to the rest of the world, now that it has no incentive of luring them to the American "side" in the Cold War? Do the United States still need allies? What action should be taken, if any, when a "hot spot" erupts, causing misery to the people who live in the nations involved? The answers are not easy.

Bats and cats both have forelimbs adapted for moving. Whales (mammals) and sharks (fish) have fins adapted for swimming. What te
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1. Bats and cats: <em>Homology</em>

2. Whales and sharks: <em>Analogy</em>

Explanation:

In Biology, homology refers to <u>the similarity of features from different species of organisms that share a common ancestor</u>. This is the opposite of analogy, which refers to <u>a feature that has a similar function but is not derived from a common ancestor</u>.

In this case, bats and cats have forelimbs adapted for locomotion. This is a case of homologous characters because they both are descendants of tetrapods - four-limbed animals. Therefore, even though cats and bats look completely different, they both share a similar feature: forelimbs, a characteristic feature from their common early mammalian ancestors.

On the other hand, whales (mammals) and sharks (fish) do not share a common ancestor. So, the fins are analogous structures: both have a similar function because both have adapted to an aquatic environment but they have completely separate evolutionary origins.
