All of these species are different from each other by their lifestyle, structure, and types. Biology deals with the study of botany and zoology where almost all study and research goes on to plants and animals.<\/p>\n<p>In most of the civilizations in the world, proof about the study of plants and animals can be seen easily. Among those civilizations Greek, Roman, Indian(Indus), Egyptian need have to mention especially.<\/p>\n<p>In India, Ayurveda is well famous, and in ancient times medical treatment was in use. So not only human body <a href=\"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/how-to-study-smart\/\">study<\/a> was done but also medicated properties containing plants related research was also progressive.<\/p>\n<p>In Greek, Theophrastus wrote books about plants by the name &#8216;History of Plants&#8217; which was so famous at that time, In botanical history, this book was a great and inspirational contribution by Theophrastus. That is why Theophrastus is well known as a father of botany.<\/p>\n<p>Aristotle was the first person who studied zoology systematically, his zoological related some books are remarkable those names are as per given below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Movements of Animals<\/li>\n<li>Parts of Animals<\/li>\n<li>Generation of Animals<\/li>\n<li>History of Animals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aristotle spent his most of time in observations and explanations of zoology. In that observation sea life was also involved, Main living being was into that like octopus, catfish, frogfish, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If tell In other words then Aristotle was the only ancient zoologist who observed and studied most of the mammals, birds, sea life species. Also, he observed and explained their characteristics, Life cycle, Sexual Reproduction, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Aristotle distinguished various types of animals on the basis of blood(Enhaima) and without blood animals (Anhaima). According to that time this was a great contribution by him, that is why Aristotle is well known as a father of Zoology or Father of Biology.<\/p>\n<h3>Famous Zoological Inventions and Inventors.<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>DNA \u2013 Watson &amp; Crick<\/li>\n<li>Bacteria \u2013 Leeuwenhoek<\/li>\n<li>RNA \u2013 Watson &amp; Arthur.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/careers-in-microbiology\/\">Microbes<\/a> of Malaria \u2013 Charles Laveran.<\/li>\n<li>Genetic Code \u2013 Hargobind Khorana<\/li>\n<li>Blood Circulation \u2013 William Harvey<\/li>\n<li>Sex Hormones \u2013 Eugen Stainak<\/li>\n<li>Sperm \u2013 Humm &amp; Leeuwenhoek.<\/li>\n<li>Amoeba \u2013 Roesel Von Rosenhof<\/li>\n<li>Blood Capillaries \u2013 Marcello Malpighi.<\/li>\n<li>Cell \u2013 Robert Hooke.<\/li>\n<li>Contraceptive Pills- Pincus<\/li>\n<li>HIV \u2013 Luc Montagnier<\/li>\n<li>Cholera Bacteria \u2013 Robert Koch<\/li>\n<li>Carbon Dating \u2013 Libby W.F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Famous Botanical Inventions and Inventors.<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Abu Hanifa ad-Dinawari \u2013 Arabic botany founder.<\/li>\n<li>Carl Linnaeus \u2013 Father of Modern Taxonomy.<\/li>\n<li>Gregor Johann Mendel \u2013 Research on Pea Plant.<\/li>\n<li>Norman E Borlaug \u2013 Father of Green Revolution.<\/li>\n<li>Barbara McClintock \u2013 Genetic structure of Maize Researcher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Frequently Asked Questions On This Topic \u2013 Gk Quiz on This Topic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biology is divided into two parts?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans:<\/strong>\u00a0Zoology and Botany.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Give the definition of zoology?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans:<\/strong> zoology can be defined as,&#8221; It is a branch of biology that studies the members of the animal species and about animal life generally&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Give the definition of Botany?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans:<\/strong> Botany can be defined as, &#8220;It is the branch of biology that deals with the study of plants, their biochemical processes including their structure and Properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Who is the founder of Blood group A, B &amp; O?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans:<\/strong>\u00a0Carl Land Steiner<\/li>\n<li>Who is the founder of Thyroxine Glands?<br \/>\n<strong>Ans:<\/strong>\u00a0Edward Calvin Kendall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can read here detailed information about Biological inventions and history with father of zoology and botany etc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,30],"tags":[438,440,10,31,435,437,436,439],"class_list":{"0":"post-1216","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-career","8":"category-education","9":"tag-botanical-inventions","10":"tag-brief-history-of-biology","11":"tag-career","12":"tag-education","13":"tag-father-of-biology","14":"tag-father-of-botany","15":"tag-father-of-zoology","16":"tag-zoological-inventions"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1216"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1240,"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216\/revisions\/1240"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gyanipandit.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
