Different Branches and Sub-Branches of Science and Their Fields of Study

Science

Science is a very wide field. There are various branches and sub-branches of science. It is mainly divided into two parts Natural Science and Social Science. Natural Science is again divided into two parts Physical Science and Biological Science, which are further divided into various branches and sub-branches. While various subjects of Arts Group have been kept under Social Science.

Fault – Endogenous Force

Fault – Endogenous Force The relief of our earth is full of variations and contrasts. Due to fault-endogenous force on the upper surface of the earth, some fault valley, ramp valley have been formed. Somewhere there are deep trenches, and somewhere there is sea. In some places there are snow-filled glaciers and mountain ranges, where there is no trace of vegetation, then there are also marshy places, which are full of oddities and mysteries. Have we ever thought, what is the reason for all these differences? The answer is –  Internal Structure Of The Earth  Mainly two types of forces work on the earth, which are as follows – Endogenous forces – By these, disparities are created on the earth. Like – Earthquake, Tsunami, Long term force etc. Exogenous Forces – These are the plane stabilizing forces of the earth. Like – flowing water, sea water, glacier, wind etc. Genetic Terminology - Genetics 1. Endogenous Force As we said above, inequalities are created on the earth by endoge...

Bt Toxin

Bt Crop Containing Bt Toxin Gene Bt refers to Bacillus thuringiensis i.e. Bt crop contains the amount of toxin obtained from the above bacterium or rather Bt toxin is formed in these crops which is active only when the crop is eaten by insects. In this way, after eating the crop, this toxin becomes active by going into the intestine of the insect and the insect dies. Pongal : A South Indian Festival Now the question arises that how did this poison reach inside the plants. Bt bacteria store many toxin proteins inside their spores and this toxin protein is made by the Bt toxin gene present inside the bacterium, that is, this toxin is produced by the Bt toxin gene. By biotechnology, this toxin gene is isolated from the bacterium and put in the gene of crop plants, due to which this toxin starts forming inside the crop plants as well. Exogenous Forces - Weathering and Erosion When Bt toxin is in the cell of bacteria or crop plants, then it is in dormant state and at this time it is called...
