Biological Science: Exploring the Fundamentals of Life and Living Systems (4 in 1)

This bundle contains 4 titles, which are the following:

Astrobiology - With fascinating insights into the building blocks of life, planetary habitability, and the latest advancements in space exploration, this guide reveals how scientists are pushing the boundaries of knowledge to find evidence of life elsewhere. This comprehensive guide brings together the latest research in chemistry, planetary science, and evolutionary biology, offering readers a glimpse into the potential forms that extraterrestrial life might take and what discovering it would mean for humanity.

Biology - At its core, biology explores the characteristics of life, which include organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation. All living organisms share these characteristics, though they may express them in various ways. From the microscopic bacteria that live in the soil to the complex human body, biological processes are at work, and each organism plays a part in maintaining the balance of ecosystems.

Genetics - Each organism's genetic material is contained within its cells, and it is organized into structures called chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. Within these chromosomes are thousands of genes, each responsible for specific traits. These traits can range from eye color and blood type to more complex characteristics like susceptibility to certain diseases.

Microbiology - Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with the study of microorganisms, which are organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and protozoa. Although these tiny life forms are invisible to the unaided eye, they play a vital role in the environment, human health, and various industrial processes.
