Which branch of biology deals with the study of the large scale structure and development of animals?

  1. Genetics

  2. Zoology

  3. Physiology

  4. Mammalogy

The correct answer is: Zoology

Zoology is the branch of biology that deals with the study of animals, including their large scale structure and development. Genetics, on the other hand, is the study of genes and heredity in living organisms. Physiology is the study of the functions and physical processes of living organisms. Mammalogy is a subfield of zoology, specifically focused on the study of mammals. While all of these options are related to biology, only zoology specifically deals with the structure and development of animals.
