Where are molecular homology found?
Homology is frequently found in organic chemistry.
What three criteria are used to determine whether something is homology?
for homology organs must have common embryonic origin but different lines of development. for example fore limb of man, fore legs of horse and wins of bat
What are the difference between homology and analogy?
A homology is a likeness in structure between separate organisms due to evolutionary events from the same part or part of a remote ancestor. Whereas analogy is a resemblance and/or comparison of some particulars between things otherwise unlike.
What is anatomical homology?
Homology refers to similarity between characteristics in different species of organisms. Bats and butterflies are quite different from each other, yet both have wings to fly; bats fly and whales swim, yet the bones in a bat's wing and whale's flipper are strikingly similar. While 'analogy' refers to different structures which perform the same function, 'homology' refers to similar structures which perform different functions. Prior to the advent of Darwinism, homology was attributed to the existence of archetypes: biological structures are similar because they conform more or less to pre-existing patterns. Charles Darwin, however, offered a different explanation for homology. Darwin proposed that bats and whales possess similar bone structures, not because they were constructed according to the same archetype (which would imply design and thus intelligent causation), but because they were inherited from a common ancestor.
How has the lab technique PCR helped scientists study evolutionary relationships?
PCR helps, specifically, with finding homology between sequences of dna quickly and spefically where scientists want to look in the genomes. PCR, by using 'primers,' pinpoint exactly where they want to make copies of DNA. By making these copies, they can be read by a machine and from there, 'multiple sequence alignment' can be performed to examine evolutionary relationships. These sequences and homology matter to scientists such as structural biologists who want to find out the specific 3D shape of homologous proteins or RNA. They can use homology in, say mice (mammal) DNA sequences to make predictions about the shape of human proteins/RNA--therefore finding ways to attack a 3D structure with a new synthetic medicine.
What is Primary homology?
proposed hypothesis of homology based on similarity.
Where are molecular homology found?
Homology is frequently found in organic chemistry.
Is the humerus bone of the bird and bat an example of analogy or homology?
Homology
Is having the same name as others considered more homology or analogy?
homology
What are types of evidence used to Classify organisms in systematic?
Physical homology, Genetic homology, and Ecological niche
Homology is evidence of what?
Evolution
How do you distinguish between a homology and a analogy?
Homology- Evolved from a common ancestor Analogous- 2 similar structures that evolved differently

What has the author Hans Delfs written?
Hans Delfs has written: 'Homology of locally semialgebraic spaces' -- subject(s): Algebraic spaces, Homology theory
What term refers to similarity of structure in the overall design of organisms?
Homology
Are the molecular formulas for each of the amino acids the same?
No, in fact people used to think that structural homology was proof for evolution but if you look at the chemistry of two animals with the same structural homology they will be way different
