Biology – An Introduction
Looking at the world around us, we happen to see millions of beautiful things which might be very common to our eyes. But, when we see them through the canvasser’s eyes they seem to be the most charismatic but highly complex structures. Have you ever asked yourself of how different butterflies happen to inherit the numerous gorgeous colors or how do the various trees have leaves with distinct colors during the autumn?
There might be thousands of such unusual questions in our minds regarding the beautiful nature and its numerous resides. See yourself in the mirror today, and just think of how a human like us got created in the course of evolution since the starting of the earth. Surprisingly there is just one answer to all these questions of yours, and that is “Biology”. Biology is like the vast ocean made of several small drops of water. Thus biology has been divided into thousands of smaller and bigger subparts which are further subdivided into many other smaller parts. All these small parts of biology are the answers to your grooving questions. Biology is a Greek word meaning bios-life and logy- study, i.e the study of life. Thus as the definition suggests, it is the branch of Natural science or live science which describes the anatomical study of the organisms and the way they interact with each other.
A vast subject like biology can never be compressed into a single topic. So, in order to understand and know the base we have divided the subject into the following categories. These are individually separate branches of the mother tree which by themselves have become a huge, incomparable section of biology.
- Evolution
- Cell biology
- Molecular biology
- Ecology
- Botany
- Zoology
- Microbiology
- Biotechnology
- Human biology
- Genetics
- Bioinformatics
- Physiology
