Biology is the science that deals with living things. It is broadly divided into zoology, the study of animal life, and the study of p
l
ant life
. Subdivis
ions of each of these sciences include cytology, histolo
gy, anatomy or morphology,
phy
s
iology, and embryology. Also included in biological studies are the sciences of genetic
s, evolut
ion, pale
ontology, and the study of classification.
For organisms to grow and reproduce, cells must divide. The two main phases of Cell Division are Mitosis and Meiosis. Mitosis and
meiosis are both processes of cell division, but their outcomes are
very different. Mitosis and Meiosis describes the
process by which the body prepares cells to p
articipate in either asexual or sexual reproduction to make an entire organism.
