In biology, homology is similarity due to shared ancestry between a pair of structures or genes in different taxa. A common example of homologous structures...

Apomorphy unique to a given taxon is autapomorphy. Synapomorphy/homology – a derived trait that is found in some or all terminal groups of a clade, and inherited...

first to study genetics scientifically. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring over time...

phenotypes (such as traits and developmental defects). The technique aligns phenotypes across organisms based on orthology (a type of homology) of genes involved...

the first to identify the fundamental difference between analogies and homologies. In biochemistry, physical and chemical constraints on mechanisms have...

shape has been compared to that of a dinner roll. It is a quintessential trait of Neanderthals, though it is a trend in archaic Homo species. The true...

the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic trait or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each individual organism, that is maintained...

original version of the structure in other species in order to determine the homology of a vestigial structure. Homologous structures indicate common ancestry...

Plesiomorphy, symplesiomorphy, apomorphy, and synapomorphy, all mean a trait shared between species because they share an ancestral species. Apomorphic...

because they are mammals, and also because they share a high degree of homology with humans. They are the most commonly used mammalian model organism,...

possibly survive; (2) traits vary among individuals with respect to their morphology, physiology, and behaviour; (3) different traits confer different rates...

restriction endonucleases (FokI and Cas), and the repair of DSBs through homology-directed recombination (HDR) or non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Genome...

indicating their physiological homology. The group is characterized by retaining the primitive vertebrate condition in several traits: Absence of an amnion Absence...

strong sequence similarity with the avian Z chromosome, (indicating close homology), and the SRY gene so central to sex-determination in most other mammals...

evolutionary change. One proposed definition of constraint is "A property of a trait that, although possibly adaptive in the environment in which it originally...

evaluation of morphology between traits/features within species, includes an assessment of the terms: homology and homoplasy. Homology between features indicate...
