Question

The study of biology is concerned with
A. DNA
B. Biomass
C. Living organisms
D. Life as recorded for fossils

Answer 1

Biology defines the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine that propels the creation and extinction of species.

Complete step by step answer:
-Biology is derived from an ancient Greek word where “bio” meaning life and “logy” meaning branch of study.
-Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms.
-It includes their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development and evolution.

So, the answer is C. Living organisms

Additional information:
-Carl Linnaeus published a basic taxonomy for the natural world in 1735, and in the 1750s introduced scientific names for all his species.
-The main sub- divisions are- botany and zoology.
-The modern biology studies on cell and molecular biology, genetics, evolution, biochemistry, physiology, biophysics, immunology, biotechnology etc.

Note:
-The main aim of scientific classification is one universal name so that species can be easily identified.
-Vernacular names vary according to place and it creates problems within the minds of research persons. So, scientific names help them to study species with ease.
-Study on fossils is known as paleontology.
-Study of biomass is done in ecology and study of DNA, genetic variation is known as genetics.
