1.) What is Biology? Biology is the science of life. Biologists study the structure‚ function‚ growth‚ origin‚ evolution and distribution of living organisms. There are generally considered to be at least nine “umbrella” fields of biology‚ each of which consists of multiple subfields. 2.) What are the branches of Biology? Describe each. Biochemistry: the study of the material substances that make up living things Botany: the study of plants‚ including agriculture Cellular biology: the study of the

Nikki Le Anthro 102 Alyson Rollins Assignment #1 #1 Jared Diamond presents many hypotheses in the article “Curse and Blessing of the Ghetto”. The four main points he brings up is that a new mutation could be arising as the old copies of Tay-Sachs disappear. Secondly‚ Diamond believes that this gene could help fight against tuberculosis. Third‚ people who already possessed this Tay Sachs gene at a high frequency could have easily acquired this gene. Lastly‚ Diamond believed that this gene originated

A central organizing concept in biology is that life changes and develops through evolution‚ and that all life-forms known have a common origin. The theory of evolution postulates that all organisms on the Earth‚ both living and extinct‚ have descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.[21] Biologists generally regard the universality and ubiquity of the genetic code as definitive
