Answer 1

a homologous series is a series of compounds with the same general formula, usually varying by a single parameter.
characteristics of homologous series are
1 all the members of the series can be represented by same general formula

2 all the compounds of series show similar chemical properties

3 the difference in the molecular masses of any 2 homologues is 14u

4 any 2 adjacent homologues differ by 1 carbon atom and 2 hydrogen atom in their formula

Answer 2

$\huge{\mathfrak{Homologous}}$

* it is an organism which has same structure but have different function.
