Major Branches of biology: 1: Botany : Branch of biology that deals with the study of plants.

2: Zoology : Branch of biology that deals with the study of animals. 3: Microbiology : Branch of biology that deals with the study of micro-organisms.

b: Paleozoology: It is the study of animal fossils. 11: BIOTECHNOLOGY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of applications of biological processes for the benefit of the mankind. Biology and other branches of science. 1: Biochemistry: It is a branch of biology that deals with the study of different chemicals compoundsin organism. This branch of science requires firm knowledge of biology and chemistry to explain: * the synthesis of bio molecules and their requirement. *their effects caused by the deficiency and efficiency of different molecules on the organisms. * their metabolism. 2: Biophysics: It is a branch of biology that deals with the study of laws and and techniques of physics to explain: * the metabolism of living organism. * to find out the age of fossils. 3: Radio Physics: It is the sub-branch of bophysics where radioisotopes are used to trace the translocation of different material "in vivo" within the living organism. 4: Behavioural Biology: Behavioural biology deals with the facts of biology which are reflected in the study of behaviours. 5: Bio-Sociology: The study of behaviour, especially social behaviour connects the social sciences and humanities to biology.

Sub Branches of Biology: Following are the main sub branches of biology. 1: MORPHOLOGY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of external characteristics of living organisms. 2: ANATOMY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of internal characteristics of living organisms. 3: HISTOLOGY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of Tissues of plants and animals under microscope. 4: CYTOLOGY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of structure, function, and composition of cell and organelles of plants animals. 5: PHYSIOLOGY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of functions and activities of various organs. 6: ECOLOGY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of relationship of organisms between eachother and with their non living environment. It is also known as Environment Biology. 7: EMBRYOLOGY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of progressive development changes which occur after zygote formation up to the formation of organism. 8: TAXONOMY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of description, identification, classification and scientific naming of an organism according to their similarities and dissimilarities. 9: GENETICS: Branch of biology that deals with the study of transmission of hereditary characters from parents to their offsprings. 10: PALEONTOLOGY: Branch of biology that deals with the study of plants and animals now founds as fossils in the rocks. It is further divide in to two branches. a: Paleobotany: It is the study of plant fossils.
