What are the principles of the branches of biology?
^^Those 2 are both good answers, but in my opinion are way too focused; there are 6 “primary” schools of study. 1. Cellular and Organismal Biology – here the focus is on the cell itself, and how the organelles in the cell work together to undergo the basic processes of life. 2. Microbiology – here the focus is on microorganisms (unicellular or cell-clustered organisms), and how they interact with the environment. This also includes the study of viruses, bacteria, and mycology (fungus). 3. Ecology – here the focus is on distributions and relations of organisms and their interactions with each other in a common environment; the interaction between living things and the environment. 4. Genetics/Evolution – here the focus is on tracing a gene pool through generations and determining how that gene is affecting that organism and its interaction in the world; evolution ties into every concept of biology but best fits into genetics as most of the time evolution is caused by a genetic mutation.
