Biology is the field of science that deals with the study of living organisms. It shares a great deal of ground with other science fields, especially chemistry. There are three primary theories of the biological sciences:
- Gene theory: genetics, the study of heridity, how living organs pass on their traits to their offspring.
- Cell theory: all living things are composed of cells, microscopic enclosed compartments where the genetic material is stored, energy is processed and components necessary for the organism's function are constructed.
- Evolution theory: all organisms on Earth have a shared ancestry and how different population diverged to create the various species that exist today.
