Homology (biology) - Wikipedia
In biology, homology is similarity in anatomical structures or genes between organisms of different taxa due to shared ancestry, regardless of current functional differences.

Homologies - Understanding Evolution
Homologies can be identified by comparing the anatomies of different living things, looking at cellular similarities, studying embryological development, and studying vestigial structures within individual organisms.

Homology | Morphology, Comparative Anatomy & Genetics | Britannica
homology, in biology, similarity of the structure, physiology, or development of different species of organisms based upon their descent from a common evolutionary ancestor. Homology is contrasted with analogy, which is a functional similarity of structure based not upon common evolutionary origins but upon mere similarity of use.

Homologies: Cellular/molecular evidence - Understanding Evolution
But genetic homologies extend far beyond such closely related twigs on the tree of life. For example, 70% of human genes are homologous to genes found in acorn worms – eyeless marine worms that usually make their living filtering bits of food out of the water or mud.

HOMOLOGY Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
The similarity of a structure or function of parts of different origins based on their descent from a common evolutionary ancestor is homology. Analogy, by contrast, is a functional similarity of structure that is based on mere similarity of use.

Homology - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A homologous[1] trait is any characteristic which is derived by evolution from a common ancestor. This is contrasted to analogous traits: similarities between organisms that were evolved separately.

7.13C: Homologs, Orthologs, and Paralogs - Biology LibreTexts
In genetics, the term “homolog” is used both to refer to a homologous protein and to the gene ( DNA sequence) encoding it. As with anatomical structures, homology between protein or DNA sequences is defined in terms of shared ancestry.

Homology - Wikipedia
Homology, homologous, homologation or homological may refer to:

How do homologies differ from analogies in evolutionary biology?
Homology refers to traits or structures in different species that share a common evolutionary origin. These features are inherited from a common ancestor, even if they have since been modified for different functions.

What is Homology? - National Center for Science Education
Scientists test a claim of homology by making a prediction based on that claim, and then seeing whether the evidence supports that claim or refutes it. If repeated tests continue to confirm a claim of homology, scientists can be increasingly confident that they are right.
