    About this ebook

    The fundamentals of biology beam its searchlight on all the
    basic principles contained in various aspects of life sciences, like
    recombinant DNA, genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry.
    Via the in-depth study of these principles, humans can
    adequately understand all the basic mechanisms that life entails
    and then find an anchor for his biological thinking and
    knowledge, which are all required for full understanding of the
    various challenges humans encounter in day-to-day lives. These
    challenges vary from problems with human environmental
    quality, loss of biodiversity, diseases, and health.
    The basic chemical structures of living things relate a great deal
    to their physical structure. Various cell processes come to play
    also to give the human being its structure and function as seen
    on the exterior. Cellular organizations are equally essential,
    ensuring one cell functions in its place without unwanted
    interference with another cell and its function. Living processes
    depend heavily on various metabolic processes, and these
    processes occur in animals and plants. Humans, being the chief
    among higher animals, remain the main focus and end point of
    all biological studies.
    Cell division is an integral part of the fundamentals of biology
    since it forms the basis on which living things grow and
    develop. Cell division equally forms the basis for genetics, and it
    is irreversibly associated with both sexual and asexual
    reproduction processes.
    Genetics is more or less a new entrant into biological studies,
    and its details have reached an advanced stage in recent times,
    thanks to the many genetic technological processes developed in
    recent times. Genetics opened human eyes to the processes
    and studies of evolution, and they are both intertwined and
    inseparable.
    To improve on knowledge related to biological studies, humans
    have engaged in various laboratory activities and formulated
    various hypotheses to give human make up a meaning. The
    laboratory activities culminate to data collection and
    interpretation, which gave both to inferences and conclusion
    presented to the world in the form of visual, oral and written
    forms of communication. Research in the world of biology is an
    ongoing process since many more secrets about this broad field
    of study are still left unfolded.
    Fundamentals of biology seek to study this course at the level
    of the cell. It involves in-depth investigation into cellular
    structures and chemical processes. As hinted earlier, gene
    expression, cell division, and cell metabolism are also integral
    parts of the study. The content is more or less about the basic
    concepts of biology, which form the foundation on which all
    other biology-related fields of study are built. It must be stated
    with emphasis that the study of the fundamentals of biology at
    cellular level deals squarely with the eukaryotic cell, which is the
    form of cell found in humans, animals, and plants. However,
    mentions are also made about prokaryotes.
    Cell functions in plants and animals are regulated by various
    molecular processes, which are essential in all multi-cellular
    organisms.
