 Biology is concerned with living things including its essential mechanisms. It includes genetic

makeup, process conditions, cellular structures, biological functions, growth and evolvement of life and

living organisms.

As of today, the covid-19 virus is very rampant, and biology can be involved to solve this societal

problem. The virus infects our body by entering healthy cell, in there the intruder makes a copy of itself

and multiplies throughout our body.
