Fields of specialization under Botany:
Botany, also called plant
science(s), plant biology or
phytology, is the science of
plant life and a branch of
biology. A botanist, plant
scientist or phytologist is a
scientist who specializes in
this field.

24. Zoography
25. Zoometry
26. Zootomy
Understanding the
subject:
Zoology is the branch of
biology that studies the animal
kingdom, including the
structure, embryology, evolution,
classification, habits, and
distribution of all animals, both
living and extinct, and how
they interact with their
ecosystems.
10. Cell Biology

1. Agriculture
2. Biochemistry
3. Molecular Biology
4. Immunology
5. Cytochemistry
6. Cell Biophysics
7. Cell Physiology
8. Cellular Adaptation
9. Cellular Microbiology
Understanding the
subject:
Cell biology is a branch of
biology that studies the
structure and function of the
cell, which is the basic unit of
life. Cell biology is concerned
with the physiological
properties, metabolic
processes, signaling
pathways, life cycle, chemical
composition and interactions
of the cell with their
environment.
11. Molecular Biology
Fields of specialization under Molecular Biology:
1. Biochemistry
2. Nanotechnology
3. Pharmaceuticals
4. Horticulture
5. Pathology
6. Pharmacology
Understanding the
subject:
Molecular biology is a branch
of biology that concerns the
molecular basis of biological
activity between biomolecules
in the various systems of a
cell, including the interactions
between DNA, RNA, proteins
and their biosynthesis, as well
as the regulation of these
interactions.
12. Physiology
Understanding the
subject:
Physiology is the scientific study
of the functions and
mechanisms which work within
a living system. As a sub-
discipline of biology, the focus
of physiology is on how
organisms, organ systems,
organs, cells, and biomolecules
carry out the chemical and
physical functions that exist in a
living system.
13. Embryology
Understanding the
subject:
Embryology is the branch of
biology that studies the prenatal
development of gametes,
fertilization, and development of
embryos and fetuses.
Additionally, embryology
encompasses the study of
congenital disorders that occur
before birth, known as
teratology. Embryology has a
long history.
14. Ecology
Understanding the
subject:
Ecology is the branch of
biology which studies the
interactions among
organisms and their
environment. Objects of
study include interactions of
organisms that include biotic
and abiotic components of
their environment.
15. Genetics
Understanding the
subject:
Genetics is a branch of
biology concerned with the
study of genes, genetic
variation, and heredity in
organisms. Gregor Mendel,
a scientist and Augustinian
friar, discovered genetics in
the late 19th-century.
Mendel studied "trait
inheritance", patterns in the
way traits are handed down
from parents to offspring.
16. Eugenics
Understanding the
subject:
Eugenics is a set of beliefs
and practices that aim to
improve the genetic quality of
a human population by
excluding certain genetic
groups judged to be inferior,
and promoting other genetic
groups judged to be superior.
17. Evolution
Understanding the
subject:
Evolution is change in the
heritable characteristics of
biological populations over
successive generations.
These characteristics are the
expressions of genes that
are passed on from parent
to offspring during
reproduction.
18. Palaeontology
Understanding the
subject:
Paleontology, sometimes
spelled palaeontology is
the scientific study of life
that existed prior to, and
sometimes including, the
start of the Holocene
Epoch. It includes the study
of fossils to determine
organisms' evolution and
interactions with each other
and their environments.
19. Exobiology
Understanding the
subject:
Astrobiology, formerly known
as exobiology, is an
interdisciplinary scientific field
concerned with the origins,
early evolution, distribution,
and future of life in the
universe. Astrobiology
considers the question of
whether extraterrestrial life
exists, and if it does, how
humans can detect it.
