<p><strong>The definition of <font size="3">Biology</font></strong>(from Greek:&nbspbeta;&Icirc;&macr;&omicron;&sigmaf;, <em>bio</em>, &quot;life&quot;; and &lambda;&Iuml;Œ&gamma;&omicron;&sigmaf;, <em>logos<br /em>The scientific , &quot;knowledge&quot;) is the study of life. [[What is biology?]]&nbsp;<br />Biology is an information science that is close to computer science and mathematics. &nbsp;Biologists collect information through experiments on how molecules pass signals and regulate genetic elements through feedback systems.&nbsp;<br /><br />The outcomes are usually databases and new gene markers and drug targets. The purpose of biology is to understand life in terms of how they process information in the physical world. The major application of biology is medicine. Therefore, biology is sometimes called the basic sience of medicine.<br /><br />The early 2000s is was at the point where the conventional views of molecular biology change changed rapidly with new views. One of them is the transition from the object-oriented understanding of biology to an interaction-oriented understanding. &nbsp;<br />Many scientists have predicted the reverse of reductionism in biologyin the past, and such interaction-based molecular research is the starting point of a holistic way of performing biology. &nbsp;<br />The most appropriate and general name of such a non-reductionist methodology of doing biology is perhaps systems biologyomics. We now have enough individual objects in biology to look at the architecture of the biological information object networks. --&nbsp;[[Network biology]] and [[systems biology]] are sub branches of biology where [[User:J|Jomics]] 21:04paradigm is applied.<br /><br />It contains such topics as classifying the various forms of organisms, how species come into existence, and the interactions they have with each other and with the natural environment. Biology encompasses a broad spectrum of academic fields that are often viewed as independent disciplines. However, 26 Feb 2005 together they address phenomena related to living organisms (KSTbiological phenomena) over a wide range of disciplines, many of which, for example, botany, zoology, and medicine are considered ancient fields of study.</p><p>Biology as a unified science was first developed in the nineteenth century, as scientists discovered that all living things shared certain fundamental characteristics and were best studied as a whole. Over a million papers are published annually in a wide array of biology and medicine journals,<br /sup class="reference" id="_ref-0">[[생정보학1]] 혹은 생명정보학</sup> and biology is a standard subject of instruction at schools and universities around the world.</p><p>As such a vast field, biology is divided into a number of disciplines. The old divisions by type of organism remains with subjects such as botany encompassing the study of plants, zoology with the study of animals, and microbiology as the study of microorganisms. The field may also be divided based on the scale at which it is studied: biochemistry examines the fundamental chemistry of life; cellular biology examines the basic building block of all life, the cell; Physiology examines the mechanical and physical functions of an organism; and ecology examines how various organisms interrelate. Applied fields of biology such as medicine are more complex and involve many specialized sub-disciplines.</p><h2><span class="mw-headline">Foundations of modern biology</span></h2><p>Biology is a branch of science that characterizes and investigates living organisms utilizing the scientific method. There are four broad unifying principles of biology:</p><ol> <li>Cell theory. All living organisms are composed of at least one cell and the cell is the basic unit of function in all organisms. In addition, the chemical composition of all cells in all organisms is similar, and emerge from preexisting cells through cell division or mitosis. </li> <li>Evolution. Through natural selection or genetic drift, a population's inherited traits change from generation to generation. </li> <li>Gene theory. A living organism's traits are encoded into DNA that is the fundamental component of genes. In addition, genes transfer an organism's traits from one generation to the next. </li> <li>Homeostasis. The physiological processes that allow an organism to maintain its internal environment notwithstanding its external environment. </li></ol><h3><span class="mw-headline">Cell Theory</span></h3><p>Cell theory states that all living things are composed of one or more cells as well as the secreted products of those cells, for example, plasma, extracellular matrix, and bone. These cells arise from other cells through cell division, and that in multicellular organisms, every cell in the organism's body has been produced from the single cell in a fertilized egg.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><span class="mw-headline">[[분자생물학Evolution]]</span></h3><p>A central organizing concept in biology is that all life has a common origin and has changed and developed through the process of the theory of evolution (see Common descent). This has led to the striking similarity of units and processes discussed in the previous section. Charles Darwin established evolution as a viable theory by articulating its driving force, natural selection (Alfred Russel Wallace is recognized as the co-discoverer of this concept). Darwin theorized that species and breeds developed through the processes of natural selection as well as by artificial selection or selective breeding.Genetic drift was embraced as an additional mechanism of evolutionary development in the modern synthesis of the theory.</p><p>생명현상을 연구하는 과학The evolutionary history of a species&mdash; which describes the characteristics of the various species from which it descended&mdash; together with its genealogical relationship to every other species is called its phylogeny. Widely varied approaches to biology generate information about phylogeny. These include the comparisons of DNA sequences conducted within molecular biology or genomics, and comparisons of fossils or other records of ancient organisms in paleontology. Biologists organize and analyze evolutionary relationships through various methods, including phylogenetics, phenetics, and cladistics (The major events in the evolution of life, as biologists currently understand them, are summarized on this evolutionary timeline).<br clear="right" /></p><p>Ever since its articulation by Darwin and Wallace, the theory of evolution by natural selection has come under attack by people who disagree with scientific findings or interpretations regarding the origins and diversity of life, generally favoring instead religious explanations. See Creation-evolution controversy for more information. 생물학은 [[과학]]의 한 핵심 분야로서</p><p>Up into the 19th century, it was commonly believed that life forms could appear spontaneously under certain conditions (see abiogenesis). This misconception was challenged by William Harvey's diction that &quot;all life [[과학적방법론is]]을 적용하여 지구상 및 우주에서의 모든 from [[생명체an]]와 생명현상을 체계적으로 분석 이해하는 것을 목표로한다egg&quot; (from the Latin &quot;Omne vivum ex ovo&quot;), a foundational concept of modern biology. It simply means that there is an unbroken continuity of life from its initial origin to the present time.</p><p>A group of organisms shares a common descent if they share a common ancestor. All organisms on the Earth have been and are descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago. Biologists generally regard the universality of the genetic code as definitive evidence in favor of the theory of universal common descent (UCD) for all bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes (see: origin of life).
