Biology and medicine

  • Heterogeneous conditions in medicine are those conditions which have several causes/etiologies

  • Genetic heterogeneity, multiple origins causing the same disorder in different individuals.
  • Allelic heterogeneity, different mutations at the same locus causing the same disorder.

Chemistry

  • A heterogeneous reaction, a reaction in chemical kinetics that takes place at the interface of two or more phases, i.e. between a solid and a gas, a liquid and a gas, or a solid and a liquid
  • A heterogeneous catalysis, one in which the catalyst is in a different phase from the substrate

Ecology
