It derives from ομόλογο (omologo) meaning ''of the same - or similar characteristics''
---------------
homologous =`ομόλογος [homo-logos] < 'ομό- + λόγος
'ομό- (homo- prefix from `όμοιος) = same- similar- (homo-erotic, homeo- morphism)
λόγος = ratio (word, speech, reason)
So, homologous=of the same ratio, of the same word, some/thing/one that agrees
Antonym: αντίλογος antilogos (antilogy)

The concept is known as "immensely specific homologous Base Pairing" between two nucleic acid strands [that are distinct only due to their separation] and between complementary nucleic acid sequences (of varying Lengths). Yes, Rna and Dna may homologous Base pair.
one base substitution
If you mean the name Tuck, it doesnt mean anything as it is not Greek nor has Greek roots.
