Homologous(a.) Having the same relative proportion or value, as the two antecedents or the two consequents of a proportion.
Homologous(a.) Characterized by homology; belonging to the same type or series; corresponding in composition and properties. See Homology, 3.
Homologous(a.) Being of the same typical structure; having like relations to a fundamental type to structure; as, those bones in the hand of man and the fore foot of a horse are homologous that correspond in their structural relations, that is, in their relations to the type structure of the fore limb in vertebrates.
Homology(n.) The quality of being homologous; correspondence; relation; as, the homologyof similar polygons.
Homology(n.) 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.
Homology(n.) 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; as, there is an homology between methane, CH4, ethane, C2H6, propane, C3H8, etc., all members of the paraffin series.
