Homological may refer to:
- Homology (anthropology)Homology (anthropology)In anthropology and archaeology, homology is a type of analogy whereby two human beliefs, practices or artifacts are separated by time but share similarities due to genetic or historical connections...
, analogy between human beliefs, practices or artifacts owing to genetic or historical connections - Homology (biology)Homology (biology)Homology forms the basis of organization for comparative biology. In 1843, Richard Owen defined homology as "the same organ in different animals under every variety of form and function". Organs as different as a bat's wing, a seal's flipper, a cat's paw and a human hand have a common underlying...
, any characteristic of biological organisms that is derived from a common ancestor. - Homology (chemistry)Homology (chemistry)In chemistry, homology refers to the appearance of homologues. A homologue is a compound belonging to a series of compounds differing from each other by a repeating unit, such as a methylene group, a peptide residue, etcetera....
, the relationship between compounds in a homologous series - Homology (mathematics)Homology (mathematics)In mathematics , homology is a certain general procedure to associate a sequence of abelian groups or modules 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 modelingHomology modelingHomology modeling, also known as comparative modeling of protein refers to constructing an atomic-resolution model of the "target" protein from its amino acid sequence and an experimental three-dimensional structure of a related homologous protein...
, a method of protein structure prediction - 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
Homologous may refer to:
- Homologous chromosomes, chromosomes in a biological cell that pair up (synapse) during meiosis
- Homologous seriesHomologous seriesIn chemistry, a homologous series is a series of compounds with a similar general formula, possessing similar chemical properties due to the presence of the same functional group, and showing a gradation in physical properties as a result of increase in molecular size and mass...
(chemistry), a series of organic compounds having different quantities of a repeated unit - Homologous temperatureHomologous temperatureHomologous 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 0.50 ....
, the temperature of a material as a fraction of its absolute melting point
Homological may refer to:
- Homological word
- Homological algebraHomological algebraHomological 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 Poincaré and...
