  • Aristotle is considered as the father of biology because he embarked on one of the earliest studies of the natural world using scientific method
  • Taxonomy - the science of identification, nomenclature, and classification of organisms.
  • Morphology - the study of external form, size shape, color, structure, and relative position of the various living organ of living being.
  • Anatomy - the study of internal structure that can be observed with unaided eye after dissection.
  • Histology - the study of tissue organization and structure as observed though a light microscope
  • Cytology - the study of form and structure of cells including the behaviour of nucleus and other organelles(usually for plants and animals)
