BIOLOGY
Biology is the scientific study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, evolution, and interactions with the environment. The scope of biology research is vast and encompasses a wide range of topics, from molecular and cellular biology to ecology and evolution. Some of the major areas of focus in biology research include genetics and genomics, developmental biology, physiology, microbiology, immunology, neuroscience, and environmental biology. The findings from biology research have many practical applications, such as in medicine, agriculture, conservation, and biotechnology, and contribute to our understanding of the natural world and the diversity of life on our planet.
