In biology: i

parent--; having a common ancestor, i. Oneof two 

 m- or organisms having a common ancestor or an 

 tral part. H., Ancestral, i. <-. , homogenetic homo 

 logues that do not arise similarly, though probably 

 ded from common ancestral part-./. .,.. the legs 

 ,.i flies of diverse development. H., Developmen- 

 tal, .•. ,-. , homogenetic homologues that arise similarly, 

 whether descending from the same ancestral part or 

 not. .me of the cranial l>.me> ol a feleostean 



and of a mammal. 



Homogeneity [ho-m it ■ ) \6u6c, like : 



kind]. The condition of being homogeneous. 



Homogeneous [ko-mo-je f -ne-tts) [oudg, like; yivog, 

 kind]. Having the same nature or qualities. Sim 

 ilar .'i identical in structure. H. Immersion. See 

 Immersion. H. Triplets. See Homogeneous '/'wins. 

 H. Twins, in embryology, when the cleavage-force 

 is exerted to its fullest effect, the entire embryonal 



trace i- completely divided ; each resulting part may 



ill.- of independent development, whereby two 

 fetuses are produced remarkable for their great simi- 

 larity; such offspring are known as homogeneous 

 twins. They are always of the same sex and possess 



almost | i lentity of physical characteristics. So 



also may a secondary fission of one of the halves take 

 place, as an extremely rare occurrence, homogen 

 triplets resulting from such twofold division of the 

 original area. Such fetuses usually lie within asingle 

 chorion, enclosed by a separate or a common amni- 

 otic sac, the increased pressure arising from the 

 unusual contents oi the limited uterine cavity favoring 

 absorption and disappearance of the amniotic parti- 

 tions. 



Homogenesis [ho-mo-jen' -es-is) [ouog, like ; yevvav, 

 to beget]. Univocal generation ; reproduction in 

 which a living parent gives rise to offspring that 

 pass through the same cycle of changes as itself. 



Homogenization (ho-mo-jen-iz-a'-shun) [u/>6g, the 

 same; yewav, to produce]. The act or process of 

 rendering or of becoming homogeneous; reduction to 

 a common standard ; the process of rendering the 

 objects of microscopic study transparent and fixed. 



Homogenous [ho-moj' -en-us) [6fi6c, the same; 



race]. In biology, applied to structures that are 

 genetically related, in so far as they have a single 

 representation in a common ancestor. 



Homogentisic Acid [hom-o-jen-tiz'-ik). See Acid. 



Homogeny [ho-m \ [otwj i vfyc, of the same race or 



iily]. In biology, an agreement among organisms 

 depending on the inheritance of a common part or 

 having a common ancestor. See Homogenesis. 



Homogonous [ho-mog / -on-us) \6fi6{ , similar ; 



offspring]. In biology, having the stamens and pistils 

 alike in all the (lowers of the species ; homostyled. 

 < i. Heterogonous. 



Homoio- [ho / -moi-o-) . For words thus beginning, see

Homoiosis [ho-moi-o , -sis). See Horn 



Homologize [ho-mol'-o-jiz) [6u6g, the same; '/iynv, to 

 speak], tn biology: i. To recognize as homologous ; 

 2. To exhibit homology; to correspond in structure. 



Homologous [ho-mol 1 '-o-gus) \6u6g, the same; "Ktyeiv, 

 to speak]. In biology, corresponding in structure, 

 either directly or as referred i" a fundamental type. In 

 chemistry, being of the same chemic type or series; 

 differing by a multiple or an arithmetic ratio in certain 



■ onstituents, while the physical qualities are analogous, 

 with small differences, as if corresponding to a series 



■ .I parallels. H. Tissues, those identical in type of 

 structure. H. Tumor, a name given by Virchow to 

 a tumor consisting of tissue identical with that of the 



oi whence it springs.
