The branch that I choose is Molecular biology that deals with macro and micro-molecules involved in various cellular activities such as nucleic acids and proteins. It studies the molecular basis of life. In molecular biology, we study the structure and function of molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. This branch of biology is evolving rapidly due to modern technology including next-genome sequencing, and in-vivo and in-vitro studies of cellular molecules. The role of molecular biology in evolutionary studies is immense as it has been very useful in filling the gaps of the evolutionary trees.
