👉 Heterologies are a type of genetic variation that occurs when two or more species have different genes for certain traits or functions. These traits and functions can be advantageous in different contexts, such as agriculture, medicine, or environmental management. For example, some plants have evolved adaptations to grow in saltwater environments, while other plants have adapted to thrive in arid conditions. Similarly, animals may have evolved unique behaviors or structures that are specific to their environment, leading to differences in species traits and functions.
