Biology and Branch of Biology 

Biology is the study of life.
Bio: is Life
Logy: Study
Join Together: Life Study

Some Branches and their Contributor

Cell Biology: Which include the study of cell and it division.

Cell is the structural and functional unit of life.

And it was discover by Robert Hooke, Popularly Known as Father of Cell.

Genetics: Is the Study of Hereditary

Hereditary Is the transfer of character from parent to their Offspring

And it was discover by Gregor Mendel, Popularly Known as Father of Genetics.

Branches of biology

These are the main branches of biology

Agriculture - study of producing crops from the land, with an emphasis on practical applications

Anatomy - the study of form and function, in plants, animals, and other organisms, or specifically in humans.

Astrobiology- the study of evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. Also known as exobiology, exopaleontology, and bioastronomy.

Biochemistry - the study of the chemical reactions required for life to exist and function, usually a focus on the cellular level.

Bioengineering - the study of biology through the means of engineering with an emphasis on applied knowledge and especially related to biotechnology.

Bioinformatics - also classified as a branch of information technology (IT) it is the study, collection, and storage of genomic and other biological data

Biomathematics or Mathematical Biology - the study of biological processes through mathematics, with an emphasis on modeling.

Biomechanics - often considered a branch of medicine, the study of the mechanics of living beings, with an emphasis on applied use through artificial limbs, etc.

Biomedical research - the study of the human body in health and disease

Biomimetics - science of adapting designs from nature to solve modern problems.

Biophysics - the study of biological processes through physics, by applying the theories and methods traditionally used in the physical sciences.

Biotechnology - a new and sometimes controversial branch of biology that studies the manipulation of living matter, including genetic modification.

Botany - the study of plants.

Cell biology - the study of the cell as a complete unit, and the molecular and chemical interactions that occur within a living cell.

Conservation Biology - the study of the preservation, protection, or restoration of the natural environment, natural ecosystems, vegetation, and wildlife.

Cryobiology - the study of the effects of lower than normally preferred temperatures on living beings.

Developmental biology - (Embryology) the study of the processes through which an organism develops, from zygote to full structure.

Ecology - the study of the interactions of living organisms with one another and with the non-living elements of their environment.

Entomology - the study of insects.

Environmental Biology - the study of the natural world, as a whole or in a particular area, especially as affected by human activity.

Epidemiology - a major component of public health research, it is the study of factors affecting the health and illness of populations.

Ethology - the study of animal behavior.

Evolution or Evolutionary Biology - the study of the origin and descent of species over time.

Genetics - the study of genes and heredity.

Herpetology - the study of reptiles and amphibians.

Histology - the study of cells and tissues, a microscopic branch of anatomy.

Ichthyology - the study of fish.

Integrative biology - the study of whole organisms.

Limnology - the study of inland waters.

Mammalogy - the study of mammals.

Marine Biology - the study of ocean ecosystems, plants, animals, and other living beings.

Microbiology - the study of microscopic organisms (microorganisms) and their interactions with other living things.

Molecular Biology - the study of biology and biological functions at the molecular level, some cross over with biochemistry.

Mycology - the study of fungi.

Neurobiology - the study of the nervous system, including anatomy, physiology, even pathology.

Oceanography - the study of the ocean, including ocean life, environment, geography, weather, and other aspects influencing the ocean.

Ornithology - the study of birds.

Population ecology - the study of populations of organisms, including how they increase and go extinct.

Population genetics - the study of changes in gene frequencies in populations of organisms.

Paleontology - the study of fossils and sometimes geographic evidence of prehistoric life.

Pathobiology or pathology - the study of diseases, and the causes, processes, nature, and development of disease.

Parasitology - the study of parasites and parasitism.

Pharmacology - the study and practical application of preparation, use, and effects of drugs and synthetic medicines.

Physiology - the study of the functioning of living organisms and the organs and parts of living organisms.

Phytopathology - the study of plant diseases (also called Plant Pathology).

Virology - the study of viruses and some other virus-like agents.

Zoology - the study of animals, including classification, physiology, development, and behavior.
