In which branch are hormones discussed?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Pharmacy
  2. b Endocrinology
  3. c Genetics
  4. d Genetic Engineering
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b Endocrinology

The action of hormones in the body is the subject of Endocrinology.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Pharmacy: Pharmacy is the applied branch about the medicine industry and technology, not hormones.
  • c Genetics: Genetics studies genes and heredity, not hormones.
  • d Genetic Engineering: Genetic engineering is an applied branch on gene technology and its use, unrelated to hormones.
