What is biochemistry, and how does it differ from the fields of genetics, biology, chemistry, and molecular biology?

The field of biochemistry draws on many disciplines and describes the molecular nature of life processes. Biochemistry differs from genetics, chemistry, molecular biology, and general biology in a few different ways. Genetics is concerned with study of inherited variation; The study of the origin, transmission, and expression of genetic information. Chemistry is the science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and various elementary forms of matter. Molecular biology deals with the nature of biological phenomena at the molecular level through the study of DNA and RNA, proteins and other macromolecules involved in genetic information and cellular function. Biology sums up all of these subjects in that this is the study of life. Each of these subjects branch off from biology and a basic understanding of nature and life processes are necessary to fully comprehend these subjects. Biochemistry binds these disciplines together to describe scientific information at a molecular level.
