Science is a very generalized area of study.  It includes everything from physics and chemistry to zoology and mathematics.  These more specific scientific areas of study can then be further broken down into specializations like astrophysics or marine biology.

There are numerou sub-branches, which can basically be classified in "basic" approaches, that is, disciplines that study one aspect of biology throughout the spectre of living beings, and are thus mainly comparative  (i.e. physiology, anatomy, evolution, genetics, biogeography, etc.) and the "systematic" approaches, which focus on a particular group of living beings (taxon) and study all aspects of it (i.e. zoology, botany, mycology, and specific subtaxa within these major ones). \nThis concept is well represented as a cake in which the "layers" are the basic divisions, and the "slices" are the taxons:\nhttp://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~varanus/cake.gif\n\nThis "cake" depicts the more traditional fields; now more and more disciplines are arising, including the interaction with other sciences.\n\nPS. Your question really looks like homework assignment, and if that's the case, this is not what your teacher will be looking for.

What are the major taxonomic categories that we use to organize all life on earth -- species, genus, family, order, phylum, etc?  How many Kingdoms are there and how are they determined?  Give the full taxonomy for Homo Sapiens.\n\nWhat is DNA?  What is RNA?  Describe the steps of RNA transcription.  What is mitosis?  Decribe the steps of mitosis.  How is this different from mieosis?\n\nWhat is a gene?  What is the difference between phenotype and genotype?  What is a dominant gene?  What is a recessive gene?  Why is a dominant gene dominant?  What are the other kinds of gene relationships (co-dominance, etc.)  \n\nDescribe the Theory of Evolution.  What was the evidence Darwin found to come up with the Theory.  How do species evolve over time?  What is speciation and give three examples of how different species can evolve?  What is mutation?  What other times of gene changes are there that are related to evolutionary development?\n\nWhat is an ecology? What are the various types of relationships between species (predation, parasitism, mutualism, commensalism, etc.) and give examples of each. What sort of defenses do species develop against predation?  What sort of features do predators develop in return?\n\nWhat is reproduction?  What are the different kinds of reproduction?  How does reproduction differ between various plant species?  Between animal species?  What are some examples of (I forget the term but) animal features/behaviors that serve only to help with reproduction?  How do these evolve?\n\nWhat is a bacteria?  What is a virus?  What are the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?  What are the major organs in a prokaryotic cell/organism?  How about a eukaryotic cell/organism?  What do each of these do?  What is the current theory on how mitochondria evolved?  What is special about the cell wall and how does it allow material to get across it?  What about the cell nucleus?\n\nWhat is involved in genetic science?  What sorts of things can genetic science do and what are the tools?  What is gene splicing?  What is genotyping and genetic sequencing?  How do these work?\n\nDescribe the major organs and organ systems in the human body.  What is the function of each?  What is the structure of each.  What are some examples of tissue types and how do you recognize them under a microscope?  What are some of the major diseases that humans suffer and what are the symptoms and cures for each?  How is food processed by the digestive system and which food elements are digested in which organs?  What are the more important hormones and neurotransimitters in the human body and what does each do?  \n\nDescribe the different groups of organic molecules important to life -- proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, etc.  What is the molecular structure of each and how are they different?  What is the importance of each and what is their function in the human body?  What is an amino acid?  How many are there, and what do they do?\n\nAnd so much more ... sheesh.

"Branches of Biology\nBecause there is such a huge variety of living things on the earth, the science of biology has many different branches and areas of study. Depending on their discipline, biologists usually research one or more of the following categories: \n\nMicrobiology, a study dealing with the structure and existence of microorganisms, which are tiny life forms such as a bacteria or a virus; \nZoology, which is the study of animal life; \nBotany, which is focused on plant life; \nAnd physical anthropology, where scientists study human life, such as our existence and how we interact with other life forms. \nBiologists also use other sciences to research life. Without chemistry and physics, much of the knowledge we have gathered about life would have been impossible to collect. \n\nIn an effort to answer the “what is life” question, much of the history of biological study has been focused on trying to classify and define life forms. The four categories above led to the development of many subcategories as biologists learn more about the depth and complexity of living things. Some of the other subdivisions of biology are:- \n\nPhysiology\nStudy of the vital functions and basic activities of living organisms - cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems - and their parts, in relation to the whole. \nEmbryology\nStudy of the formation and development of organisms from the zygote, or fertilised egg. Confined mainly to multi-celled organisms. \nTaxonomy\nHierarchical classification of natural organisms indicative of their structures and differences. \nGenetics\nStudy of inheritance and variation in organisms, and mechanisms by which these operate; causes of similarities and differences among related individuals. \nEcology\nStudy of relationships between organisms and their environment; the interactions of individuals within groups and with their suroundings. \nMorphology\nThe study of the shapes of plants and animals. \nMolecular Biology\nStudy of chemical processes at the level of large organic molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. \nBiochemistry\nStudy of the chemical processes within living systems as a whole. \nMicrobiology\nThe study of micro-organisms - their structure, function, and significance."

The unifying theory within biology is considered by most to be the theory of evolution, in reality there are several theories that can be considered unifying: the cell theory, the theory of evolution, gene theory, and the theory of homeostasis.\n\nIf this is for homework, I would guess that your teacher or whoever created the worksheet you're doing for homework is looking for the theory of evolution.

Natural science is a term used to encompass many disciplines of science.  By the 18th century, the term "natural science" was being used to describe all scientific study versus political or religious.

Genus is most commonly associated with groupings in biology and zoology. Genre refers more to the arts. They are categories.

Kind of.  Biology and chemistry are both based on physics, and since these are used to explain life, physics can explain life in a way.  Of course, nobody really understands what life is, how it evolved, or really any of the fundamental questions about life.\nOn a side note, there is an interesting theory that uses quantum mechanics to explain consciousness, but unfortunately I don't have a source for that.

Taxonomy is the science of classifying living organisms. The taxonomic categories are as follows:(from large to small)\nkingdom, phylum, class, order,family, genus, and species.So, the members of a class would of course be the orders.

No it is not a science. Astronomy which is study of universe and its component is a science.\nEven, if outer planet or galaxy have an influence on our planet, it is impossible that they have an influence of a single human or so light

its a member of the kingdom Protista, which includes eukaryotic, mostly unicellular organisms with animal-like (protozoa), plantlike (algae), or funguslike (slime moilds) modes of nutrition. I take microbiology in collage if u need more info email at Njacobs7477@yahoo.com
