The foundation of biology as it exists today is based on five basic principles. They are the cell theory, gene theory, evolution, homeostasis, and laws of thermodynamics.

•        Cell Theory: all living organisms are composed of cells. The cell is the basic unit of life.

•        Gene Theory: traits are inherited through gene transmission. Genes are located on chromosomes and consist of DNA.

•        Evolution: any genetic change in a population that is inherited over several generations. These changes may be small or large, noticeable or not so noticeable.

•        Homeostasis: ability to maintain a constant internal environment in response to environmental changes.

•        Thermodynamics: energy is constant and energy transformation is not completely efficient.
