Definitions and meanings of "Homology"

What do we mean by homology?

The quality or condition of being homologous. noun

A homologous relationship or correspondence. noun

The relation of the elements of a periodic family or group. noun

The relation of the organic compounds forming a homologous series. noun

A topological classification of configurations into distinct types that imposes an algebraic structure or hierarchy on families of geometric figures. noun

In chem., the relationship which the members of a homologous series bear to one another. noun

The state or character of being homologous; correspondence. noun

In geometry, the relation between two corresponding figures lying in the same plane which are such that corresponding points are collinear With a fixed point called the center of homology, while corresponding lines intersect on a fixed line called the axis of homology. noun

The quality of being homologous; correspondence; relation. noun

Correspondence or relation in type of structure in contradistinction to similarity of function; as, the relation in structure between the leg and arm of a man; or that between the arm of a man, the fore leg of a horse, the wing of a bird, and the fin of a fish, all these organs being modifications of one type of structure. noun

The correspondence or resemblance of substances belonging to the same type or series; a similarity of composition varying by a small, regular difference, and usually attended by a regular variation in physical properties; , all members of the paraffin series. In an extended sense, the term is applied to the relation between chemical elements of the same group. Cf. Heterology. noun

The higher relation which a series of parts, or a single part, bears to the fundamental or general type on which the group is constituted. noun

Representative or repetitive relation in the segments of the same organism, -- as in the lobster, where the parts follow each other in a straight line or series. noun

The correspondence of a part or organ with those of a different animal, as determined by relative position and connection. noun

A homologous relationship. noun

A correspondence of structures in two life forms with a common evolutionary origin, such as flippers and hands. noun

The relationship between the elements in the same group of the periodic table, or between organic compounds in a homologous series. noun

A theory associating a system of quotient groups to each topological space. noun

A system of quotient groups associated to a topological space. noun

A homologous relationship.

A theory associating a system of groups to each topological space.

A certain system of groups associated to a chain complex.

The relationship between the elements in the same group of the periodic table, or between organic compounds in a homologous series.

A correspondence of structures in two life forms with a common evolutionary origin, such as flippers and hands.

The presence of the same series of bases in related genes.

The word "homology" in example sentences

a part or organ in a different animal; the determination of which homology indicates that such animals are constructed on a common type; when, for example, the correspondence of the basilar process of the human occipital bone with the distinct bone called 'basi-occipital' in a fish or crocodile is shown, the _special homology_ of that process is determined. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

By the term homology he expresses the unity or identity of character between the bones so answering to one another in different animals. ❋ 1823-1886 (1855)

Knowledge of homology is certainly very useful, can give us a good idea of the path of descent, and can constrain our hypotheses. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I may be interpreting you wrong, but are you saying that because of the tacit admission that the genetic code and ribosomes and the like evolved multiple times, pretty much anything can evolve that many times independently and therefore the logic used to infer molecular homology, namely that homology is the only logical way to explain the molecular uniformity when there are so many different ways in principle to evolve these structures, is wrong. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I replied that when molecular homology is decoupled from organismal (vertical) descent, as Woese and others have done for universally-shared characters such as the genetic code, unexpected consequences follow for inferences about the branches of the Tree of Life. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Analogy vs. homology is how biologists draw family trees. ❋ Matthew Guerrieri (2008)

Sequence homology is certainly good evidence in support of the HGT – eukaryote hypothesis, but even if there were a known transposon with sequence homology to RAG (and I think there is), an alternative hypothesis might be that the transposon arose through escape of a RAG gene rather than vice versa. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Assume for the sake of argument that everything Nick has written about sequence homology is accurate including his flagellar inferences. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Um, guys, sequence homology is a direct result of the well-understood process of gene duplication and sequence divergence. ❋ Unknown (2006)

However, homology is still a funny word: in the context of proteins and genes, it makes sense only if we don’t think about it too deeply. ❋ Unknown (2009)

There is more to direct comparisons than protein homology. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Each affect program comprises a coordinated syndrome of responses (which we attribute to the algorithmic level) implemented at the physiological (hormonal and neurological), muscular-skeletal, and expressive levels in ways that owe their uniformity to homology, that is to say their common ancestral origin. ❋ De Sousa, Ronald (2007)

I'll summarize here a recent paper that strongly supports the idea of homology of the vertebrate and arthropod heart and vascular systems. ❋ Unknown (2006)

In the 1950's and 1960's the notion of homology has begun to be extended to the molecular level, to the comparison of nucleotide se - quences in the DNA's of different organisms, and to the comparison of amino acid sequences in proteins from different organisms. ❋ STUART A. KAUFFMAN (1968)

[My dad] is a homosexuologist. He [studies] [homosexuality]. ❋ Kwang (2003)

That [alligator] looks [gay] [maybe] he’s a homologator ❋ Jealous Croc (2018)

"[Homologism] is rampant in my church. Everybody there assumes that you agree with waiting until marriage to have sex, even though most people won't actually care if you do it." "I'm so tired of the way my roommate keeps homologising me. Yes, we are both gay, but that doesn't mean I agree with her that bisexual people are just afraid to come all the way [out of the closet]. [Bisexuality] is a real thing." ❋ Blamtastical (2015)

buying a crossmember from one seller, control arms from another, [air bags] from another, [brackets] from another, [a rack] from another, then trying to put them all together to make one kit - this homologation is one f-ed up homologated mess. ❋ Therapist Tom (2010)

1. "You [homologous pair]" 2. "[That's so] homologous pair like" ❋ Dr. Bipolar P.H.D. (2007)
