homogenous
adj.adj. made of parts that are all the same or very similar. In biology, it describes a group of living things that have the same basic features and can usually have babies together.
adj. consisting of parts or elements that are uniform in nature or structure. In a biological context, it describes a population or species that is genetically uniform or capable of interbreeding.
The two species are very homogenous.
The biologist noted that the homogenous population lacked the genetic diversity needed to survive a sudden change in the environment.
While the initial sample appeared homogenous under the microscope, further genetic testing revealed subtle variations that suggested a more complex evolutionary history than previously assumed.
From homo- + gene + -ous.
