What does the term "eukaryotic homolog" mean?

Answer 1

In biology eurkaryotic homolog means a creature with complex structures that are similar.

For example lions and pigs and humans have gall bladders, but rabbits and rats don't. The gall bladder is a structure that holds bile which is useful for digesting fats, which are not a major part of the rat's or rabbit's diet. So lions, pigs and humans have a homolog structure, it is a eurkaryotic because any organized structure in a animal, plant or fungi.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic
"Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are eukaryotes (IPA: /juːˈkærɪɒt/), organisms whose cells are organized into complex structures by internal membranes and a cytoskeleton. The most characteristic membrane-bound structure is the nucleus."

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homology_%28biology%29
"More specifically, in evolutionary biology, homology has come to mean any similarity between characters that is due to their shared ancestry. There are examples in different branches of biology. Anatomical structures that perform the same function in different biological species and evolved from the same structure in some ancestor species are homologous. In genetics, homology is measured by comparing protein or DNA sequences, and genes that share a high sequence identity or similarity support the hypothesis that they share a common ancestor and are therefore homologous. Sequence homology may also indicate common function. Homologous chromosomes are non-identical chromosomes that can pair (synapse) during meiosis, and are believed to share common ancestry."

Answer 2

Eukaryotic Cells

Eukaryotic cells (from the Greek meaning truly nuclear) comprise all of the life kingdoms except monera. They can be easily distinguished through a membrane-bound nucleus.

Homolog

* A gene related to a second gene by descent from a common ancestral DNA sequence. The term, homolog, may apply to the relationship between genes separated by the event of speciation (see ortholog) or to the relationship betwen genes separated by the event of genetic duplication (see paralog).

Answer 3

first time i heard something like this. I know what eukaryotic means, from what i remember, it mean "true" while homolog means "analogy of structures due to shared ancestry"
probably means that it has something in common or of true ancestry, hope i helped.

Bacterial Ion Channels and Their Eukaryotic Homologs is a succinct summarization of the past ten years of research in the field. Emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach, this book will serve as an important reference for ion channel specialists and as a useful introduction to the topic for non-specialists in such fields as microbiology, structural and developmental biology, neuroscience, and biophysics who wish to acquaint themselves with these molecules.


Written by acknowledged experts, this comprehensive volume examines the accumulated knowledge of channel structures and considers how it has advanced the understanding of basic bacterial ion channel properties. The first compendium of its kind, Bacterial Ion Channels provides a historical background and presents an analysis of the structure and function of several types of channels, including potassium, ClC chloride, and sodium ion channels. Chapters delve into such topics as diversity of potassium channels in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, selectivity and permeability of bacterial ion channels, voltage- and mechano-sensing, simulation studies of ion channels using molecular modeling, and the role of bacterial ion channels in cell physiology.

Answer 5

I actually worked in a dairy processing factory, We made Ice cream for Baskin Robins and Bluebunny, and we made cheese for Kraft, then for about a month we would make Cheese for the Government, that was part of the programs that help low income families. It was produced at a much higher standard than ordinary cheese, everything about the process was exact, It is actually extremely good, I do not know if they still do that. it was 20 years ago.
