Introducing Biology

Both A and R are False.

Reason — Ichthyology and Pisciculture are not the same. Ichthyology is the scientific study of fish, while Pisciculture is the technique of growing fish. Both the branches are different, but not because they deal with different types of fishes, rather because they serve different purposes.

A is False and R is True

Reason — The correct term is Radiation Biology (or Radiobiology), not Nuclear Biology. Radioactive rays are emitted from the nucleus of the elements.

A is True and R is False.

Reason — Animals who give birth to young ones rather than laying egg are known as viviparous animals. Most of the mammals are viviparous but there are some exception like platypus which is oviparous (lays eggs).

Both A and R are True.

Reason — Pathology is the study of diseases, including their causes, development, and effects on plants and animals. Pathology involves analyzing body fluids and tissues to diagnose diseases.

Both A and R are False.

Reason — Mycology is the scientific study of fungi , while Phycology is the scientific study of algae.

Yes, Biology can help in further increasing the yield of food. New varieties of plants and new breeds of cattle, poultry, etc. are being developed with the knowledge of Biology. The science has also increased our knowledge of diseases of plants and animals, and how to cure them. Plants and animals of newer varieties are cultivated by cross-breeding through the application of biotechnological principles, unleashing unexplored concepts for a brighter future. All these efforts are helping us to produce more food in fields, dairies and poultry farms.

Fossils

Reason — The study of prehistoric forms of life through fossils is called Palaeontology.

Biotechnology

Reason — Cloning is a rapidly advancing branch of biotechnology which produces genetically identical individuals (clones) of an organism either naturally or artificially.

Aristotle

Reason — Aristotle was the first person to study animals in sufficient detail.

Theophrastus

Reason — Theophrastus mainly studied plants in detail and is said to be the 'Father of Botany'.

Pathology

Reason — Study of diseases involves blood and urine test.

Anatomy

Reason — Study of internal organs is called anatomy.

Morphology

Reason — The study of form and structure of an organism is called Morphology.

Molecular biology

Reason — Molecular biology involves interpreting biological events in terms of molecules in the cell.

P — Fungi, Q — Algae

Reason — The scientific study of fungi is known as mycology, while the scientific study of algae is known as phycology.

Ronit

Reason — Pisciculture is the technique of growing fish, especially in controlled environments like fish farms.

1. Mycology
2. Ichthyology
3. Entomology
4. Genetics

1. Histology — The study of minute structures or tiny bits of the body at tissue level as seen with the help of a compound microscope.
2. Ecology — the study of relationship of an organism to its biotic and abiotic environment.
3. Cytology — The study of structure and function of cell of an organism.
4. Pathology — The study of diseases of plant and animals.

1. Life science is the branch of science that deals with the study of life processes. The term biology is also used synonymously.
2. Human biology is defined as study of human as a living organism and his relationship with other living organisms.
3. Agriculture is defined as study of raising crops and livestock rearing.
4. The study of humans and their interaction with the society is called anthropology.
5. Biometrics involve the verification of a person by his body features such as fingerprints, the pattern of iris in the eye and behavioural characteristics.

Biology is one of the major branches of science. It is a natural science which deals with study of living beings, that is to say animals, plants and even humans. Biology is derived from two Greek words: 'bios' meaning life and 'logos' meaning study. Biology on the whole can be sub-divided into three major branches, namely:

1. Botany — Botany is a branch of biology dealing with study of plants.
2. Zoology — Zoology is a field of biology concerning with animal study.
3. Human Biology — It deals with humans as a living entity and their relationship with other entities.

Knowledge of biology has greatly helped us in the field of human health. It provides to individuals and society, the knowledge that enables us to live a proper life. Basic knowledge can help in self-analyzing causatives of diseases, different microbes causing diseases. Thereby examining and studying their mode of living and propagating diseases. This study has paved the way for production of new drugs synthesized naturally or synthetically killing causatives of diseases.

A farmer, although has never studied biology, knows by his experience how to increase his produce. He knows how to plough and plant crops and select good quality seeds for sowing. Right from selecting germfree seeds to sow, act of ploughing, crop plantation, using fertilizers, irrigation and its types, crop harvesting, cross-breeding with other plants, weed removal, etc, they have knowledge of basic biological concepts.

A housewife, by using her experience knows which fruit or vegetable to grow and how much time. She knows all the nutritional values of various foodstuffs. She can suggest first hand treatment for simple cold, cough and other mild mishaps. She knows to tame some useful animals like cow, goat and dog for her maximum benefit.
