What does the prefix "homo-" indicate?

  1. Not, reverse of

  2. Same, equal

  3. All, entire

  4. Poorly, not

The correct answer is: Same, equal

The prefix "homo-" originates from the Greek word "homos," which means "same" or "equal." It is commonly used in various scientific, medical, and linguistic terms to indicate similarity or sameness. For instance, in biology, the term "homogeneous" refers to a substance that has a uniform composition throughout, while "homosexual" describes an attraction to the same sex. Thus, in this context, the prefix effectively conveys the idea of similarity or equality, making it the correct choice. This understanding helps in decoding many complex terms in language and science.
