A congener (from Latin roots meaning "born together" or "within the same race or kind") has several different meanings depending on the field in which it is used. Colloquially, it is used to mean a person or thing like another in character or action. Latin is an ancient Indo-European language originally spoken in Latium, the region immediately surrounding Rome. ...
Biology
In biology, congeners are organisms within the same genus. Congeners within the same geographical region can compete with one another so many adaptations can be observed that mitigate this pressure on populations Biology (from Greek βίος λόγος, see below) is the branch of science dealing with the study of living organisms. ...
In biology, a genus (plural genera) is a taxonomic grouping. ...
Chemistry In chemistry, congeners are related chemicals, e.g., a derivative or an element in the same group of the periodic table Chemistry (from Greek χημεία khemeia[1] meaning alchemy) is the science of matter at the atomic to molecular scale, dealing primarily with collections of atoms, such as molecules, crystals, and metals. ...
The periodic table of the chemical elements is a tabular method of displaying the chemical elements, first devised in 1869 by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. ...

Fermentation In the alcoholic beverage industry, congener refers to impurities produced during fermentation. Congeners are responsible for most of the taste, aroma and color of alcoholic beverages. It has been suggested that these substances also contribute to the symptoms of a hangover, although the more likely cause is a more complicated mix of ethanol, dehydration and various other factors (see hangover for a more complete list).

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, is a flammable, colorless, mildly toxic chemical compound with a distinctive perfume-like odor, and is the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. ...
Dehydration (hypohydration) is the removal of water (hydro in ancient Greek) from an object. ...

Genetics In genetics, congenic organisms are organisms with very similar genomes, except for a small fraction. For example, recombinant congenic mice strains are produced in laboratories as a tool to study genetic disease. Genetics (from the Greek genno γεννώ= give birth) is the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. ...
In genetics, two organisms that differ in one locus are defined as congenic[1]. Recombinant congenic mice are generated in the laboratory by mating two inbred strains, and backcrossing the descendants a number of generations with one of the original strains, known as the recipient strain. ...
A genetic disorder, or genetic disease is a disease caused, at least in part, by the genes of the person with the disease. ...
