|
A process of gradual change that takes place over many generations, during which species of animals, plants, or insects slowly change some of their physical characteristics. |
Evolution |
|
|
The science of the application of the laws of physics to biological phenomena. |
Biophysics |
|
|
The branch of biology that deals with the structure and function of the macromolecules essential to life. |
