Science Degree Program in China - Biology

1. Introduction

Biology is one of the six basic subjects of natural science, studying the structure, function, occurrence and development of organisms, as well as the relationship between the biological and the surrounding environment. Biology originates from the natural history, experience experimental biology, molecular biology and enters into systematic biology era.

2. Subject Classification

Classification is to follow classification principle and method, conducts nomenclature and classification of various groups of organisms, use domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species to classify. The top kingdom is prokaryotes protista, fungi, plant and animal.
