proposed hypothesis of homology based on similarity.
Homology is frequently found in organic chemistry.
Homology
homology
Physical homology, Genetic homology, and Ecological niche
Evolution
Homology- Evolved from a common ancestor Analogous- 2 similar structures that evolved differently

The key distinction between homology and homoplasy is that homology is when similar traits are inherited from a common ancestor, while homoplasy is when similar traits evolve independently in different species.

The three types of homologies are anatomical homology (similar structure), developmental homology (similar embryonic origin), and molecular homology (similar genetic sequence). These homologies provide evidence of common ancestry and evolutionary relationships among different species.
