When items or entities in a group are similar. opposite of heterogeneous.

Of the same kind of nature; consisting of similar parts, or of elements of the like nature; -- opposed to heterogeneous; as, homogeneous particles, elements, or principles; homogeneous bodies.

Possessing the same number of factors of a given kind; as, a homogeneous polynomial.

Descriptive term for a material of uniform composition throughout; a medium which has no internal physical boundaries; a material whose properties are constant at every point, in other words, constant with respect to spatial coordinates (but not necessarily with respect to directional coordinates).

Genetic description of open pollinated varieties. When all (or most) genes are paired up with their identical genes, so that reproduction (seed set) results in offspring with very similar characteristics. Traditionally achieved through several generations of self-pollinating. In the laboratory homogeneity (homozygosity) can be created in one generation with doubled haploid technology See genotype See double haploid See homozygous

Composed of identical cell types.

The same in structure and quality; similar or identical.

A system in which the component parts are identical in their structure and characteristics.

A homogeneous system of linear equations is a system of linear equations without constant terms. A homogeneous matrix vector equation has form Ax=0. Note that a homogeneous linear system is always consistent, as it always has the solution x=0 (the trivial solution).

A term describing a mixture that is the same throughout, as for example when sugar is fully dissolved in water. A solution is a homogenous mixture.

In the context of a large cardinal property, a subset, S, of D is homogeneous for a function f means that for some natural number n, Dn is the domain of f and for some element r of the range of f, every member of Sn is mapped to r. That is, f is constant on the n-tuples of elements of S.
