bococna<p><strong><font size="3">Biology</font></strong> (from Greek: &beta;ίί&omicron;&sigmaf;, <em>bio</em>, &quot;life&quot;; and &lambda;όό&gamma;&omicron;&sigmaf;, <em>logos</em>, &quot;knowledge&quot;) is the study of life.&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 />
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 />
