Branches of Biology

Branches of Biology:-

Botany, conservation, ecology, evolution, genetics, marine biology, medicine, microbiology, molecular biology, physiology, and zoology are just a few of the many disciplines that make up biology.

  • Anatomy – Study of the internal structure of an organism
  • Aerobiology – Study of airborne microorganisms
  • Agronomy – Study of soil management and crop production
  • Agrostology – Study of grasses
  • Araneology – Study of spiders
  • Actinobiology – Study of the effects of radiation upon living organisms
