The several parts of the body which are homologous, and which, at an early embryonic period, are alike, seem liable to vary in an allied manner: we see this in the right and left sides of the body varying in the same manner; in the front and hind legs, and even in the jaws and limbs, varying together, for the lower jaw is believed to be homologous with the limbs.
Homologous parts, as has been remarked by some authors, tend to cohere; this is often seen in monstrous plants; and nothing is more common than the union of homologous parts in normal structures, as the union of the petals of the corolla into a tube.
View in context
He now proposed that the old terminology, of theories of 'antithetic' versus 'homologous' alternation, should be dropped in favor of theories of 'interpolation' versus 'transformation'.

Once in the nucleus, the complex activates a transcriptional program functionally homologous to the Retinoblastoma pathway in mammalian cells.

Moreover, the transfusion of homologous blood carries the risk of major transfusion reactions and transmission of infective agents such as the hepatitis and HI viruses.
Cell-salvage techniques--a practical approach
IVF is of two kinds: heterologous, fusion of gametes of at least one donor other than the married spouses, and homologous, IVF between husband and wife.

Ellisman and Palmer Taylor at the University of California, San Diego, and their colleagues have determined that homologous mutations in the genes coding the proteins butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) cause defects in protein expression similar to those seen with neuroligin 3, shedding further light on a potential molecular mechanism underlying autism.
Misfolded protein presents potential molecular explanation for autism spectrum disorders
To render the pictorial structure homologous with its subject's classificatory premise, the illusionism of the foreground gives way to a deeper perspectival system within which the contrived displays and members of the paying public are similarly pinioned.

Eyes from different phyla were thus considered analogous rather than homologous. (28)
Origin of genetic information and evolution of biological species
By artificially initiating a DNA repair process known as homologous recombination, physicians were able to replace a mutated version of the gene that encodes IL-2R.
Harnessing the strength of a natural process that repairs damage to the human genome, doctors at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, have helped establish a method of therapy that can correct mutations in the IL-2R gene that is associated with the immunodeficiency disease SCID
Individual and collective stages of physical, psychological and spiritual development will be compared and their homologous structures examined.

The author asserts that "idolatry" embodies a similar confusion between sign and referent and posits that the relationship between commodity fetishism and idolatry is homologous, "virtually axiomatic" (23).
