Homology
 
  Homology may refer to:

  • Homology (anthropology)
    Homology (anthropology)

    In anthropology and archaeology, homology is a type of analogy whereby two human beliefs, practices or Cultural artifacts are separated by time but share similarities due to genetics or history connections....
    , analogy between human beliefs, practices or artifacts due to genetic or historical connections.
  • Homology (biology)
    Homology (biology)

    In evolutionary biology, homology refers to any similarity between characteristics that is due to their common descent. The word homologous derives from the ancient Greek ??????e??, 'to agree'....
    : similar structures due to shared ancestry.
  • Homology (chemistry)
    Homology (chemistry)

    A homolog in chemistry refers to a chemical compound from a series of compounds that differ only in the number of repeated structural units . A homolog is a special case of an analog ....
    : a compound of a series differing only by repeated units
  • Homology (mathematics)
    Homology (mathematics)

    In mathematics , homology is a certain general procedure to associate a sequence of abelian groups or module with a given mathematical object such as a topological space or a group ....
    , a procedure to associate a sequence of abelian groups or modules with a given mathematical object.
  • Homology (sociology)
    Homology (sociology)

    Homologies are "structural 'resonances'...between the different elements making up a socio-cultural whole." Examples include Alan Lomax's cantometrics, which:...
    , a structural 'resonance' between the different elements making up a socio-cultural whole.
  • Homology modeling
    Homology modeling

    Homology modeling, also known as comparative modeling refers to constructing an atomic-resolution model of the "target" protein from its primary structure and an experimental three-dimensional structure of a related homologous protein ....
    , a method of protein structure prediction
    Protein structure prediction

    Protein structure prediction is one of the most important goals pursued by bioinformatics and theoretical chemistry. Its aim is the prediction of the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences, sometimes including additional relevant information such as the structures of related proteins....


Homologous may refer to:
  • Homologous series
    Homologous series

    In chemistry, a homologous series is a series of organic compounds with a similar general formula, possessing similar chemical properties due to the presence of the same functional group, and shows a gradation in physical properties as a result of increase in molecular size and mass ....
     (chemistry), a series of organic compounds with a similar general formula.
  • Homologous temperature
    Homologous temperature

    Homologous temperature expresses the temperature of a material as a fraction of its melting point temperature using the Kelvin scale. For example, the homologous temperature of lead at room temperature is approximately .50 ....
    , the temperature of a material as a fraction of its absolute melting point.
  • Homologous chromosomes, chromosomes in a biological cell that pair up (synapse) during meiosis.


Homological may refer to:
  • Homological word
  • Homological algebra
    Homological algebra

    Homological algebra is the branch of mathematics which studies homology in a general algebraic setting. It is a relatively young discipline, whose origins can be traced to investigations in combinatorial topology and abstract algebra at the end of the 19th century, chiefly by Henri Poincar? and David Hilbert....
