     Anatomy: Anatomy is one of the main branches of biology that allows an individual to understand the structure and the parts of organisms including animals, human beings, and living organisms. Moreover, it investigates  Howa  living body adapts and maintains balance with the physical environment and human health.  Botany: Botany is another major branch of biology to scientifically study plants, their structure, histology, physiology, genetics, and ecology.  Moreover , the course covers the economic importance of various ecosystems and the impact of plants on the environment. After 12th, you can pursue BSc Botany to start a career in this field.  Taxonomy: It is one of the most important branches of Biology that deals with  categorizing  and naming different organisms based on their characteristics.  Zoology: Zoology is one of the essential branches of Biology which is concerned with the study of animal behavior, physiology, stru...

    There are mainly three branches of Biology- botany, zoology and microbiology.    1.A Anatomy: Study of the structure of living things and their parts   Astrobiology: Study of the living universe  2.B Biotechnology: Study of technology related to  biology.   Botany: Scientific study of plants.   Biochemistry :  Study of chemical processes within or related to living  organisms.   Biophysics:   Study of physical processes and phenomena in living organisms.   Bionics:   Study of  mechanical  systems that work like living things or as part of a living  organism.   Bioinformatics:   Study of interpreting biological information through computer science. 3.C Cell Biology:  Study of cell structure and functions.   Chemical  Biology:  Study of the use of chemistry to solve biological  problems.   Computational Biology:  Study of using biological information t...

  With Aristotle and Theophrastus, the great Greek period of scientific investigation came to an end. The most famous of the new centres of learning were the library and museum in Alexandria. From 300 BCE until around the time of Christ, all significant biological advances were made by physicians at Alexandria. One of the most outstanding of those individuals was Herophilus, who dissected human bodies and compared their structures with those of other large mammals. He recognized the brain, which he described in detail, as the centre of the nervous system and the seat of intelligence. On the basis of his knowledge, he wrote a general anatomical treatise, a special one on the eyes, and a handbook for midwives.

  One of the earliest Greek philosophers, Thales of Miletus (c. 7th century BCE), maintained that the universe contained a creative force that he called physis, an early progenitor of the term physics, he also postulated that the world and all living things in it were made from water. Anaximander, a student of Thales, did not accept water as the only substance from which living things were derived; he believed that in addition to water, living things consisted of earth and a  gas like  substance called apeiron, which could be divided into hot and cold. Various mixtures of those materials gave rise to the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Although he was one of the first to describe Earth as a sphere rather than as a flat plane, Anaximander proposed that life arose spontaneously in mud and that the first animals to emerge had been fishes covered  with  spiny skin. The descendants of those fishes eventually left water and moved to dry land, where they ga...

  Although the Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Chinese, and Indians amassed much biological information, they lived in a world believed to be dominated by unpredictable demons and spirits. Hence, learned individuals in those early cultures directed their studies toward an understanding of the supernatural, rather than the natural, world. Anatomists, for example, dissected animals not to gain an understanding of their structure but to study their organs in order to predict the future. With the emergence of the Greek civilization, however, those mystical attitudes began to change. Around 600 BCE there arose a school of Greek philosophers who believed that every event has a cause and that a particular cause produces a particular effect. That concept, known as causality, had a profound effect on subsequent scientific investigation. Furthermore, those philosophers assumed the existence of a "natural law" that governs the universe and can be comprehended by humans through the us...
