Question

1. Name the specific branches of Biology
concerned with the study of
(i) Fungi (ii) Fishes (iii) Insects
(iv) Transmission of body characteristics from parents to children​

Answer 1

Answer:

• (i) Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy and their use to humans as a source for tinder, traditional medicine, food, and entheogens, as well as their dangers, such as toxicity or infection.

• (ii) Ichthyology is the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish, including bony fish (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha). According to FishBase, 33,400 species of fish had been described as of October 2016, with approximately 250 new species described each year.

• (iii) An entomologist is a scientist who studies insects. Entomologists have many important jobs, such as the study of the classification, life cycle, distribution, physiology, behavior, ecology and population dynamics of insects.

• The study of heredity and variations is known as genetics.  

• Heredity can be defined as a passing of characteristics (physical or mental) from one generation to the next.

• Variations, in biological terms, are the heritable changes within the species.
