Earlier, homogenous was used as a scientific term, mainly in biology, but now it is almost obsolete, being replaced by homologous. Whereas, homogeneous is a common word, very much in use and means having similar or comparable characteristics.
Homogenous means alike. Heterogenous means unalike or distinct from one another. Thus, a homogenous population has little variation. ... The heterogeneous population has parrots of different sizes and colors.
