Friends, do you want to start ‘Biology‘ from zero? If? If yes, then this article is for you only because in this article, we will study Biology from zero, so let’s start.
What is biology?
Definition of biology –
The branch of science in which living beings are studied is called biology.
Who is the father of biology?
Aristotle is the father of biology.
Who gave the word biology?
Lamarck and Treviranus gave the term biology.
So, friends, now we will know how many branches of biology there are, that is, how many types of biology there are.
How many branches of biology?
There are mainly two branches of biology.
Name of branches of biology –
- Zoology
- Botany
What is zoology?
The branch of biology in which animals are studied is called “Zoology.”For example – frog, cow, cat, human, tiger, dog, etc
What is Botany?
The branch of biology in which all flora or all plants are studied is called “Botany.
Now we will know how many sub-branches of zoology are there.
Branches of Zoology
Anatomy – When we do the internal study of an animal, this type of study is called anatomy.
This type of study is called anatomy; for example, we study the inside or inside parts of the anatomy.
Anthropology – When we study the development of humanity, such study is called Anthropology.
Humanity has evolved from apes, chimpanzees, gorillas, etc. Many people know that humans were designed from monkeys, but humans have not evolved from monkeys.
Angiology – When we study the circulatory system of animals, this type of study is called Angiology.

Psychobiology – When we study the attitude or mind of animals, this type of study is called psychobiology.
Zodiology – When we study the distribution of animals on Earth, such a study is called Zodiology. This means that when we study animals, where they live, and in which environments they live, a study is called Zodiology.
Paleontology – Under this, fossils of organisms are studied; that is, the study of fossils of organisms is called Paleontology.
What are fossils called?
The remains of organisms are called fossils, and the study of these fossils is called Palaeontology.
Phylogeny – When the history of any species’ evolution is studied, it is called phylogeny. This means we do the ancestors of that caste.

Serology – When blood serum is studied, that study is called Serology.
What is serum?
When a cut is made anywhere in the body, blood starts to come out, and after a while, it clots. After that, the bleeding stops, and some clotting factors are found in the blood. The remaining fluid is called serum when these factors are removed from the blood. The study of this serum is called serology.
Taxonomy: Taxonomy or taxonomic science is the study of naming and classifying any species. For example, if we find a new organism and name and classify it, this whole study is called taxonomy or taxonomic science.
Toxicology – The study of toxic substances for animals and the effect these harmful substances have on their body is called toxicology.
Enzymology – When we study enzymes (catalysts), it is called Enzymology.
Entomology – The study of all insect moths is called entomology.
Genetics – The study of genetic characteristics of organisms and their heredity is called genetics.
Histology is the study of organ tissues using a microscope.
What is a tissue?
A group of cells is called a tissue.
Hematology – When blood and blood-related diseases are studied, it is called hematology.
Helminthology – When parasitic worms are studied, it is called Helminthology.
Herpetology – When amphibians and reptiles are studied, it is called herpetology.
Ichthyology – The study of fishes is called Ichthyology.
Immunology – The study of the immune system is called immunology.
Karyology – The study of the nucleus found inside the cell is called Karyology.
Morphology – The study of animals’ external shape and structure is called Morphology.
Myology – The study of muscles is called Myology, and muscles are also studied in Psychology.
Mammalogy – The study of all mammals is called Mammalogy.
What are mammals?
The animals in which mammary glands are found are called mammals.
Melecology – The study of Mollusca and their shells is called Melecology.
Molecular biology – When we study any chemical at the molecular level, it is called Molecular biology.
Microbiology – When we study microorganisms, it is known as microbiology.
Neurobiology – Many systems inside our body and nervous system are together; the study of these nervous systems is called neurology.
Osteology – Bones are found in our body. The study of these bones is called osteology.
Odontology – You have seen that teeth are found in our other animals; the study of these same teeth is called Odontology.
Organology – The study of the organs of all animals is called Organology.
Ornithology – The study of all types of birds is called Ornithology.
Ophiology/Serpentology – The study of snakes is called Ophiology/serpentology.
Physiology – The study of the functions of different body parts is called Physiology.
Parasitology – The study of parasitic organisms is called Parasitology.
Pathology – When we study the symptoms and causes of diseases, it is called pathology. Let’s say we have a disease; what caused this disease, and what are its symptoms? The study of all these is called pathology.
Eugenics – The study of the development of humanity by the principles of genetics is called eugenics.
Cytology – The study of cells is called cytology. When we study cells, this study is called cytology or cell science.
Craniology – The study of the skull is called Craniology. What is Karoti? Our brain is inside a bone structure; this structure is called Karoti, and its study is called Craniology.
Endocrinology – The study of endocrine glands is called endocrinology.
Embryology – When an embryo develops from a zygote, many stages occur. The study of these stages is called embryology.
Branches of Botany
Agrostology – When we study and follow grasses, it is called agrostology.
Histology – The study of tissues is called histology; plant tissues are called plant histology, and animal tissues are called animal histology.
Algology – The study of algae is called Algology.
Anthology – The study of flowers or flowers is called Anthology.
Taxonomy – When we name and classify plants, called taxonomy. The study of plant nomenclature and classification is called Taxonomy.
Spermology – When we study seeds, this type of study is called spermology, which includes peas, wheat, rice, gram, etc.
Space biology – When we study plants located in space. This type of study is called space biology, in which a person or a scientist takes a plant from the Earth to space by a spacecraft and grows it in that environment. If it is studied, then it is called space biology.
Phytogeography – When we study the distribution of plants and their causes, this study is called phytogeography. That is, which plant is happening where and where it is not happening and why it is happening at this place and not happening at that place is the reason for this kind of study, which is called phytogeography.
Pteridology – The study of Pteridophytes is called pteridology.
Bacteriology – The study of bacteria is called bacteriology.

Pomology – The study of fruits is called Pomology.
Virology – The study of viruses is called Virology.
Horticulture – When we grow plants for fruits and vegetables and study them together, it is called Horticulture.
Silviculture – The study of trees and their products in the forest is called Silviculture.
Tissue culture—When we take the tissue of a plant and study its culture, it is called tissue culture. In simple language, if we take the tissue of a plant and grow it into a tree, it is called tissue culture.
