BIOLOGY AND ITS BRANCHES:
Biology is derived from two Greek words:Bio=living and logos=course.Thus,biology is defined as branch of science that deals with study of living beings.
Aristotle is regarded as "father of Biology".Biology mainly deals with plant and animal kingdom.Broadly,biology is divided into two branches.They are listed below:
1)Zoology:
Zoology is branch of biology that deals with the study of animal kingdom.Father of zoology is Aristotle.
2)Botany:
Botany is branch of biology that deals with the study of plant kingdom.Father of botany is Theoprastus.
SOME OTHER BRANCHES OF BIOLOGY:
1)Acarology:Study of mites and ticks
