behavior and gene distribution among other topics. Genetic research also
includes studying various diseases and the effects they have on different
genes.
Biochemistry includes the study of chemical processes within living
organisms. It is closely related to molecular biology. Students in this field
study the human metabolism and the structure of cells.
Botany is the study of plant biology. Botanists learn about plant structure,
reproduction, development, diseases, and evolutionary relationships.
Zoology is focused around the study of animal biology. Zoologists discover
the structure, evolution, classification, and habits of animals. They may focus
on species preservation or the effects of habitat destruction.
2. Physical Science is the systematic study of the inorganic world, as distinct from the
study of the organic world, which is the province of biological science. Physical
science is ordinarily thought of as consisting of four broad areas: astronomy, physics,
chemistry, and the Earth sciences. Physical Science ultimately derive from the
rationalistic materialism that emerged in classical Greece, itself an outgrowth of
magical and mythical views of the world.
