Genotype and variation [ â edit | edit source] Zygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism.Most eukaryotes have two matching sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid.ygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism.

homologous Compare analogous. 2. Being a set of two pairs of chromosomes, one pair from the female parent and one from the male parent, having genes for the same trait in the same positions. Genes on homologous chromosomes may not have the same form, however.

Landscape ecology Heterogeneity is the measure of how parts of a landscape differ from one another. Landscape ecology looks at how this spatial structure affects organism abundance at the landscape level, as well as the behavior and functioning of the landscape as a whole.

Homogeneity and heterogeneity A material or image that is homogeneous is uniform in composition or character (i.e. color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous is distinctly nonuniform in one of these qualities.

Cultural homogenization From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Cultural homogenization is an aspect of cultural globalization, listed as one of its main characteristics, and refers to the reduction in cultural diversity through the popularization and diffusion of a wide array of cultural symbols — not only physical objects but customs, ideas and values.

Homology (biology) In the context of biology, homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different species. A common example of homologous structures in evolutionary biology are the wings of bats and the arms of primates.Evolutionary theory explains the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as the result of descent with modification from a common ancestor.omology is a relationship defined between structures or DNA derived from a common ancestor. Homologous traits of organisms are therefore explained by descent from a common ancestor.

Homogeneity (physics) In physics, a homogeneous material or system has the same properties at every point; it is uniform without irregularities.[1][2] A uniform electric field (which has the same strength and the same direction at each point) would be compatible with homogeneity (all points experience the same physics).

Cladogram A cladogram (from Greek clados branch and gramma character) is a diagram used in cladistics which shows relations among organisms. homoplasy is a character state that is shared by two or more taxa due to some cause other than common ancestry. The two main types of homoplasy are convergence (evolution of the same character in at least two distinct lineages) and reversion (the return to an ancestral character state).

Homologous: Definition, Characteristics & Structure Examples Homologous Structures. A homologous structure is an organ, system, or body part that shares a common ancestry in multiple organisms. This definition is found in evolutionary biology, and uses the meaning of having a similar structure or origin.he term homologous is used in several different modes in biology, all with meanings derived from the root phrase, having a similar relative position, structure, function or origin. In this lesson, we focused on homologous structures, homologous chromosomes and homologous organs in males and females.

Definitions &Translations Heterosis, hybrid vigor, or outbreeding enhancement, is the improved or increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid offspring. The adjective derived from heterosis is heterotic. An offspring exhibits heterosis if its traits are enhanced as a result of mixing the genetic contributions of its parents.

- homogenization. (həmŏj'ənəzā`shən) , process in which a mixture is made uniform throughout. Generally this procedure involves reducing the size of the particles of one component of the mixture and dispersing them evenly throughout the other component. Probably the most familiar example of a homogenized product is commercially sold milk.

Segregation Segregation. (or liquation), in metallurgy, heterogeneity in the chemical composition of alloys that occurs upon crystallization. The term has a special meaning when used with reference to steel, as first discovered by the Russian metallurgists N. V. Kalakutskii and A. S. Lavrov in 1866.

- Evolutionary biology. Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages. Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups. The cladistic term for the same phenomenon is homoplasy.
