10-Integrity Score:

BIOLOGY:Bio means life and -ology means “study of” so biology literally means the study of life.Biology
is the study of all living organisms (and dead organisms,like fossils).Biology looks at how these organisms
form,develop and interact with each other and their environment.

ECOLOGY:is the natural science of the relationshis among living organisms,including humans,and their
physical environment.Ecology considers organisms at the individual,population,community,ecosystem,
and biosphere level.

TAXONOMY: It is the science of describing, naming, and categorizing organisms. It comprises all the
animals, plants, and microbes found on Earth. Organisms are classified into similar categories namely
kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.

EMBRYOLOGY: the study of development of an embryo from the stage of ovum fertilization through to
the fetal stage. The ball of dividing cells that results after fertilization is termed an "embryo" for eight
weeks and from nine weeks after fertilization, the term used is "fetus."

PHYSIOLOGY: is the science of life. It is the branch of biology that aims to understand the mechanisms of
living things, from the basis of cell function at the ionic and molecular level to the integrated behaviour
of the whole body and the influence of the external environment.

MORPHOLOGY: the study of the internal structure of words and forms a core part of linguistic study
today. The term morphology is Greek and is a makeup of morph- meaning 'shape, form', and -ology
which means 'the study of something'.

FORESTRY : the art and science of protecting, conserving and managing forests, tree plantations and
natural resources. Since forest ecosystems are incredibly important to the planet, the field of Forestry is
just as crucial for the environment as it is for our communities and economy.

ECONOMIC BIOLOGY: provides a new epistemology for investigating the socioeconomic system in
conjunction with the biological system as a whole and by studying the non-linear interactions between
their components and not only the characteristics of the individual components.
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY: is the branch of agriculture concerned with animals that are raised for meat,
fibre, milk, or other products. It includes day-to-day care, management, production, nutrition, selective
breeding, and the raising of livestock.

POULTRY : are domesticated birds kept by humans for the purpose of harvesting useful animal products
such as meat, eggs or feathers. The practice of raising poultry is known as poultry farming. These birds
are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae, especially the order Galliformes.

AGRICULTURE : the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of
crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products.

HORTICULTURE: the science and art of the development, sustainable production, marketing and use of
high-value, intensively cultivated food and ornamental plants.

FISHERY: can mean either the enterprise of raising or harvesting fish and other aquatic life or, more
commonly, the site where such enterprise takes place. Commercial fisheries include wild fisheries and
fish farms, both in freshwater waterbodies and the oceans.

VETERINARY SCIENCE: deals with the health and wellbeing of animals. Like medical degrees, this
encompasses everything from preventative care to psychological analysis and complex surgical
procedures.

SCIENCE MEDICINE : is a system in which health professionals with a medical doctor (MD) degree treat
symptoms and diseases using drugs, radiation, or surgery. Evidence-based medicine is considered the
explicit, judicious, and reasonable use of modern best evidence in making decisions about the care of
the patient.

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY: is the study of the structure and function of molecules and macromolecular
systems associated with biological processes, especially the molecular basis of inheritance and protein
synthesis.

PALAENTOLOGY: is the study of the history of life on Earth as based on fossils. Fossils are the remains of
plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and single-celled living things that have been replaced by rock material
or impressions of organisms preserved in rock.

EVOLUTION: means the process of developing by gradual changes. A rock star might discuss her
evolution as a musician, for example. In biology, evolution refers to genetic change in species or
populations over time. Evolution usually refers to a process that produces a better or more complex
form.

GENETICS: is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. It is an important branch
in biology because heredity is vital to organisms' evolution. Gregor Mendel, a Moravian Augustinian friar
working in the 19th century in Brno, was the first to study genetics scientifically.

BIO-GEOGRAPHY : is the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and
through geological time. Organisms and biological communities often vary in a regular fashion along
geographic gradients of latitude, elevation, isolation and habitat area.
