Which is an applied branch of biology?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Embryology
- b Ecology
- c Genetic Engineering
- d Biogeography
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: c Genetic Engineering
Genetic engineering is about gene technology and its uses, so it is an applied branch.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Embryology: Embryology is a physical branch, not an applied one; it is about how embryos develop.
- b Ecology: Ecology is on the book's physical list, not applied.
- d Biogeography: The paper printed option d, but Biogeography is on the book's physical list, not applied.
