Greetings from inside the Yahoo Brain in New York City!
Hope you're catching the live webcast at: http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !
I thought there were 5 main branches of biology:
1. ZOOLOGY: the study of animals
2. BOTANY: the study of plants
3. MICROBIOLOGY: the study of viruses, monerans, and protists
4. BIOCHEMISTRY: the study of the chemical nature of life
5. ECOLOGY: the study of the interaction among organisms in ecosystems
Hope this helps!

Botany and Zoology
Botany is the scientific study of plantlife. As a branch of biology, it is also sometimes referred to as plant science(s) or plant biology. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines that study the structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, ecology, and evolution of plants.
Zoology is the biological discipline which involves the study of animals.The word zoology comes from Greek Ζωο, zoon ("animal"), and λογος, -logy ("study").
