Associate's Degree - Zoology

Animal biology or zoology includes more specialized fields of study. Some examples are anatomy (structures), morphology (how shape & form relate to function), physiology (internal processes and functions and their coordination), genetics (heritability of the information that ultimately directs all life functions and responses to the environment), systematics and taxonomy (ordering, classifying and naming of species), evolution (origin and development of species), and ecology (interrelationships of living organisms with each other and the environment).
