No that's humans. You're thinking of homeostasis.

No, that's self-regulating body temperature. You're thinking of herpetology.

No, that’s the study of amphibians and reptiles. You’re thinking of horticulture

[–] janus2 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, that's the art and science of raising plants. You're thinking of hors d'oeuvres.

No, that's European cuisine. You're thinking of homesickness

No. That's being far from home and missing it. I believe you meant homeopathy.

No, that's a medical pseudoscience. You're thinking of heliosphere

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

you're mistaken, since that term refers to the outermost atmospheric layer of the Sun. the term you might want to use here is "histogram".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I believe your statement might contain a slight imprecision, as a histogram is a bar graph displaying the frequency distribution of some value. Did you perhaps mean to say "homogram"?

It seems like we ran into a misunderstanding, because a homogram is a type of poem. I believe the term you were looking for is haplotype.
