This age may be termed as 'age of biology'. Like physics, chemistry and computer science, biology has also a great important role in the development of human civilization. People use the knowledge of biological science in different purposes. the importance of biological sciences can be discussed under the following heads:
INDUSTRY:
There are many industries which are completely or partially based on different biological products such as dairy industry, fermentation industry, biogas production industry, leather industry etc.
Biotechnology is a branch of biology which has a great impact on modern agriculture, different industries which are mainly based on biological products and, commerce. Biotechnology can be used to get virus free plants, new variety of plants etc. Biotechnologists are now busy to evolve new type of bacteria by which unwanted materials of environment can be destroyed.
WAR AGAINST DISEASE:
POPULATION CONTROL:
The success of the knowledge of medical science has resulted in the mortality rate which created the problem of over population. Due to the sharp declination of death from different diseases, there has been a rapid growth in the world population. Different birth control measures are used to control the explosion of population which has started showing positive result. The knowledge of biology is highly essential for effective control of human population.
BIOLOGY AND EUGENESIS:
Eugenesis deals with the genetic improvement of human race be genetic counselling. Gradual elimination of defective genes from human race through marriage is the main thrust of eugenesis.
FOR FOOD PRODUCTION:
The unlimited population explosion has created demands of food. We must look into the ways by which we can produce more food and which can be achieved only by using the knowledge of biological science.The application of modern techniques and knowledge of biology have great contribution to enhance our food production. Knowledge of poultry, fishery, dairy, piggery, have helped us a lot for the continuous supply of meat, fish, milk, and different milk products.

WAR AGAINST DISEASE:
There are a lot of microorganisms in the atmosphere which can cause different diseases. The knowledge of biology can save us from those diseases and illness. The discovery of antibiotics like penicillin, streptomycin, chloromycetin, tetramycin etc. are effective against almost the entire range of bacterial diseases and have cut down deaths due to septic wounds to a negligible number. with the development of different vaccines, we have been able to virtually eradicate small-pox, and diseases like diptheria, whooping cough,tetanus, measles, tuberculosis,polio,mumps etc. At present the scientists are trying to develop vaccine against the killer disease AIDS with the help of the knowledge of genetic engineering.
