Introduction to Biology

Biology is a branch of science which deals with the study of life and living organisms. It observes the physical structure, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, evolution and development of organisms. It is a natural science that includes the study of the cell as a basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of inheritance and evolution as the force that drives the creation and extinction of species. There are various branches of biology, such as anatomy, microbiology, botany, cell biology and genetics. Anatomy is the study of the structures of organisms and microbiology studies the microorganisms as well as their interaction with other living things. Botany is involved in the study of plants and cell biology is the study of cell and the molecular and chemical interactions that occur within living cells. Genetics is a branch of biology that examines and studies genes and heredity in organisms. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of biology. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
