Branches Of Biology

Biology is a very wide field of study and having very large amount of information.For our easily understanding and studying biology, it is divided into many branches. But mainly it is divided into two branches.

Main Branches: 

Zoology:
                       It is a branch of biology, in which we study about animals.

Botany:
                   It is a branch of biology, in which we study about plants.

Other Branches:

Morphology: 

                          In which we study about the structure of  living things.  

Anatomy:

                        In which we study about the internal structure of living things.

Histology:

                       It is a microscopic study tissue.

 Physiology:                

                In which we study about the function of different parts of animals and plants.

Cell Biology/ Cytology:

               In which we study about the function and structure of the cells.  Palaeontology: 

                    In which we study about the fossils and its relationship with evolution of life on earth. 

Palaeobotany:

             In which we study about the plant fossil.

Palaeozoology:                                                                                                In which we study about the animal fossils. 

Microbiology:                                                                                                  In which we study about the microorganisms i.e. microscopic Algae and Fungi, Bacteria, Protozoa, and Viruses.

Freshwater Biology:

              In which we study about the organisms living in freshwater i.e. lakes, revers etc. 

Marine Biology:

              In which we study about the life of organisms living in seas and oceans. Parasitology:

              In which we study about the parasites.  

Human Biology:  

                   In which we study about the of man.  

Social Biology: 

            In which we study about the communal life and social behavior of human being.

Biotechnology:

            In which we study about the use of living organisms, process in manufacturing and service industries. 

Genetics:

            In which we study about the hereditary characters transmitted from parents to offspring. 

Taxonomy: 

                 It deals with naming and classification of living organisms into groups and sub-groups.Closely related organisms are placed in the same group.

 Embryology: 

            In which we study about the development of an  organism  from a zygote( Fertilized egg).

Zoo-geography:  

             In which we study about the distribution of organisms in nature.

 Molecular Biology:

             In which we study about the structure of organisms, cells and their organelles at molecular levels. 

Environment Biology/ Ecology:

             In which we study about the organisms and its relation to their environment (included inorganic and organic environment).
