Question

What is Homologous series,tell me in your own words?​

Answer 1

${\huge{\green{Explain:-}}}$

In organic chemistry, a homologous series is a sequence of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical properties in which the members of the series can be branched or unbranched, or differ by -CH2

Answer 2

$\star$ Concept ___________________________________

$\huge\sf\implies$ In Chemistry, Homologous is a series of chemical compounds having the same functional group but differing in composition by a fixed group of atoms.

___________________________________________

$\star$ In simple words :

Homology is the study of similarities between organisms to determine common ancestors based on genes , physiology or development.The structure or genes that fall under homology are referred to be as being Homologous.

Theory :

$\because$ A theory in botany : the sporophyte and gametophyte in plants are essential alike , the spirit having developed by direct modification of the gametophyte - compare antithetic theory

Importance :

Homologous character shares many biological properties in the different organism in which it occurs ,and there is a casual basis for the sharing of properties ( common ancestry and shared developmental machanisms ) ...Thus , Homologous are important morphological developmental , taxonomic, and evolutionary units.
