What are the scops of Biology

Answer» Biology creates an awareness of vast array of forms of life which normally goes unseen. Biology offers a large scope and provides a large field for study.(1)\xa0Helps us to understand ourselves better :\xa0It unfolds different queries of life alongwith its cultural, social, philosophical and economical aspects. So it helps in understanding the life better.(2)\xa0Biology and inter-relationship of living beings :\xa0Study of biology helps us in understanding the wonderful phenomenon and laws of nature which finally tell us to predict the behaviour of different living beings under changed conditions.(3)\xa0Biology and resources :\xa0Biology helps us to know how to tap and conserve the resources available to us\xa0e.g.\xa0fishes, birds, forests etc.(4)\xa0Biology and literature :\xa0Knowledge of Natural Biology has greatly enriched the literature with their references in stories and poems etc. Poets and other authors have been inspired by the beautiful and interesting plants and animals and frequently figure them in stories, poems and dramas.(5)\xa0Study of nature is a rewarding experience :\xa0Many plants like\xa0Narcissus, Dahlia, Gloriosa,\xa0Roses, Marigold, Aster, etc. are used for ornamental purposes. The variety available in animals is widely enjoyed in zoological parks. Students enjoy excursions to remote places watching never seen before plants and animals.(6)\xa0Solving problems :\xa0Biology makes us to understand the present day problems such as population growth, pollution, conservation of wildlife and survival of man etc. The future directions of biotechnology, conservation of biodiversity, maintenance of environment and human welfare remain in the hands of biologists.(7)\xa0Biology-Medicinal aspect :\xa0Several plants like\xa0Atropa belladona, Cinchona\xa0are sources of atropine, quinine etc. Many members of fungi such as\xa0Penicillium\xa0and\xa0Streptomyces\xa0give rise to antibiotics like penicillin and streptomycin. Plants are the major source of vitamins. Drugs are first tested on animals before being used for treating man. Animals provide scientific hints for the production and use of medicines. Animals are widely used for scientific research and results thus obtained are finally applied to man. The study of animal play an important role in health, nutrition and control of pests. Many diseases like malaria are caused and transmitted by animals.(8)\xa0Solving approach of biology :\xa0Knowledge for eradication of diseases like malaria, small pox, etc. have been achieved by scientists basically due to desire and determination to solve the problem.(9)\xa0Ecosystem and living organisms :\xa0Biology helps us in understanding the various ecosystems. The living community and non-living environment interact with each other and exchange of material in them takes place.(10)\xa0Biotechnology :\xa0Biotechnologists have produced many genetically modified (GM) crops. Plenty of studies are being made by geneticists, evolutionists and cytologists to fudge the efficacy of biotechnology.
