A homologous substance refers to a series of compounds that share a similar structure and chemical properties but differ by a systematic increment, typically in the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms. These compounds often belong to the same functional group and exhibit a gradual change in physical properties, such as boiling or melting points, with each successive member of the series. Common examples include the alkanes, where each successive member increases by a CH2 unit.
A solvent is a substance which dissolves, or the substance in which another substance is dissolved. The solute is the substance which is dissolved. A solvent dissolves the solute. In salt water the water is the solvent that dissolves the salt, or the solute.A solute is a homologous mixture, made of two or more substances.

Gametes are said to have homologous chromosomes, if they have same genes arranged in same order. During gamete formation meiosis precedes, therefore, individual gamete does not have its homologous counterpart. After fertilization, in diploid nucleus, homologous chromosomes are restored.
Homologous end joining is a type of DNA repair where the broken DNA strands are accurately repaired using an undamaged homologous sequence as a template, ensuring that no genetic information is lost. On the other hand, non-homologous end joining is a more error-prone DNA repair mechanism that directly rejoins the broken DNA ends without the need for a homologous template, often resulting in the loss or insertion of nucleotides at the repair site.
Substances belong to the same homologous series if they have similar chemical structures with a repeating functional group or molecular formula pattern. This commonality results in analogous physical and chemical properties among the substances in the series, making them part of the same homologous series.
Homologous means similar to but not the same thing, as a squirrel's foreleg is homologous to a human's arm.

I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.
There are 2n possible homologous chromosome alignments, where n is the number of homologous pairs of chromosomes.

Yes, sex chromosomes are homologous in humans.
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
Yes, homologous chromosomes are present in both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair up, while in meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up during prophase I.
The homologous is the study of animals.
