1Homologous chromosome — Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes in a biological cell that pair (synapse) during meiosis, or alternatively, non identical chromosomes that contain information for the same biological features and contain the same genes at the same loci but… …
2Homologous recombination — Figure 1. During meiosis, homologous recombination can produce new combinations of genes as shown here between similar but not identical copies of human chromosome 1. Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination in which nucleotide …
3Homologous — The relationship between two chromosomes that are paired and so are homologs of each other. * * * Corresponding or alike in certain critical attributes. 1. In biology or zoology, denoting organs or parts corresponding in evolutionary origin and… …
4Homologous desensitization — Desensitisation of receptors is a process wherby after prolonged agonist exposure, the receptor is uncoupled from its signalling cascade, and thus the biological effect of receptor activation is attenuated. High ligand concentrations are required …

8homologous — adj. 1) (in anatomy) describing organs or parts that have the same basic structure and evolutionary origin, but not necessarily the same function or superficial structure. Compare: analogous 2) (in genetics) describing a pair of chromosomes of… …
