Editing Homology (section)

== Sciences ==
=== Biology ===

*[[Homology (biology)]], any characteristic of biological organisms that is derived from a common ancestor
*[[Sequence homology]], biological homology between DNA, RNA, or protein sequences
*[[Homologous chromosome]]s, chromosomes in a biological cell that pair up (synapse) during meiosis
*[[Homologous recombination]], genetic recombination in which nucleotide sequences are exchanged between molecules of DNA
*[[Homologous desensitization]], a receptor decreases its response to a signalling molecule when that agonist is in high concentration
*[[Homology modeling]], a method of protein structure prediction

=== Chemistry ===

*[[Homologous series]], a series of organic compounds having different quantities of a repeated unit
*[[Homologous temperature]], the temperature of a material as a fraction of its absolute melting point
*[[Homologation reaction]],  a chemical reaction which produces the next logical member of a homologous series

=== Other sciences ===

*[[Homology (anthropology)]], analogy between human beliefs, practices or artifacts owing to genetic or historical connections
*[[Homology (psychology)]], behavioral characteristics that have common origins in either evolution or development
**[[Homologous behaviors]], behaviors typical of species that share a common ancestor that was characterized by that behavior OR behaviors in an individual that share common origins in development
*[[Homology (sociology)]], a structural resonance between the different elements making up a socio-cultural whole
