Biology is the scientific study of living organisms and their interactions with each other

and their environment. It's a vast and diverse field that encompasses various sub-
disciplines. Let's cover some fundamental topics:

1. Cell Biology: Cells are the basic building blocks of life. They can be prokaryotic
(lacking a nucleus) or eukaryotic (with a nucleus). The cell membrane encloses the cell
and separates it from its environment. Within cells, various organelles carry out specific
functions, such as the nucleus (containing DNA), mitochondria (energy production), and
the endoplasmic reticulum (protein synthesis).

2. Genetics: Genetics explores inheritance and the mechanisms behind traits'


transmission from one generation to the next. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) carries
genetic information. Genes are segments of DNA that code for specific proteins,
influencing an organism's traits and characteristics.

3. Evolution: Evolution is the process by which species change over time through the
accumulation of genetic changes. The theory of evolution by natural selection, proposed
by Charles Darwin, explains how organisms
