Biology is the study of living organisms or processes involved in life. The word ""biology"" derives from a Greek word; ""bios,"" meaning life or mode of life, and ""logos,"" meaning word or knowledge. The biological sciences include physiology, genetics, ecology, botany, molecular biology, and the study of specific biological systems, such as the nervous system. Biological Sciences focuses on the scientists who explore the frontiers of this complex topic aFrontiers of science.Medical sciencesBiologyDiscoveries in scienceMedical sciences.Biology.Discoveries in science.610.72Kirkland Kyle1263019MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910698532103321Biological sciences3109189UNINA
