Biology is a diverse branch of science that focuses on the study of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution. It encompasses various sub-disciplines such as genetics, ecology, microbiology, physiology, and zoology. Biology explores the fundamental processes and mechanisms that govern life in its numerous forms, from tiny microorganisms to complex multicellular organisms. It is not directly related to mathematics nor a physical branch on a tree.
