Answer:

Biology is the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution. It can be divided into two main subjects: Botany (the study of plants) and Zoology (the study of animals), but this separation is not clear cut.

Life sciences are a group of advanced biology. Taxonomy (Systematics) involves the classification of organisms. Morphology is concerned with the size and form of whole organisms and their organs and the spatial relationships of the parts of the body to each other.

Histology is the study of the types of cells present in the body whereas cytology deals with the minute’s structure within the cell.

Embryology is the study of the development of organisms and physiology involves all the life processes and the functions of different organs and tissues.

Ecology deals with the relationship of organisms to one another and to their environment.

Genetics is the branch of biology devoted to the study of inheritance and paleontology deals with fossil organisms.
