physics, computer science, and medicine have been integrated with biology, resulting in areas Bioinformatics (22)
Biology has now been developed into modern biology which is based on certain foundations Genetics (79)
like cell theory, evolution, genetics, homeostasis, and chemical energy. Human Anatomy and Physiology (75)
Biology defines cell as the fundamental unit of life, which is common in all living beings, Immunology (115)
microscopic, and macroscopic. Instrumentation (64)
Besides, other concepts like evolution and genomics further help in understanding the origin, Microscopy (27)
evolution, and relationship among living beings.
Molecular Biology (84)
Genetics is another component of biology that helps in the differentiation of living beings based
Mycology (33)
on their genomic composition.
Parasitology (26)
Homeostasis is another crucial unit of biology which suggests that all living organisms maintain
Pharmacology (14)
a constant internal environment.
Phycology (2)
Non-living parts of the world like the air, water, and soil have been closely related to the living
world, which creates a close relationship between biology and the environment. Protocols (9)
Virology (50)
In short, developmental biology is a discipline that deals with the processes involved in
the development of a multicellular organism as controlled by genetic information.
Developmental biology studies the mechanisms of development, differentiation, and
growth in plants and animals at the cellular, molecular, genetic, and evolutionary levels.
Different forms of reproduction like sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction,
metamorphosis, and germination of seeds and embryos are essential aspects of
developmental biology.
Developmental biology is a fast-growing discipline that is interrelated with a vast array of
disciplines like molecular biology, anatomy, cancer biology, immunology, ecology,
evolutionary biology, cell biology, and physiology.
Studies done in developmental biology have provided information on the molecular
genetics of development, growth factors, oncogenes, the evolution of developmental
control, mechanisms of differentiation, gametogenesis, fertilization, and control of gene
expression.
Other areas of emphasis in developmental biology include transcriptional control, cell-cell
interactions, regulatory hierarchies, signal transduction, etc.
The development of developmental biology as an important discipline is due to its
applications in different areas.
The results of the research are used in fertility clinics where the information is used for
artificial insemination, test-tube culture, and to treat other infertility issues.
Tissue engineering is another essential technique that utilizes concepts of developmental
biology to grow replacement tissues in plastic dishes and to control the formation of
cancer cells.
Reactivation of stem cells to grow replacement tissues is also by virtue of
accomplishments made in developmental biology.
In agriculture, techniques developed for selective breeding by optimizing root systems,
plant size, and flowering time has allowed for a better and increased harvest.
Cancer biology is a branch of biology that studies the complex expression of genes,
proteins, and biological processes that initiated the development and growth of cancers.
