Abstract
At the organ or tissue level, where a part of the animal or plant is studied, there are often similar considerations. For example, a sample of leaves from a single plant may be subjected to experiment. Once again, the standard statistical techniques might be applied, with the leaf being the experimental unit. Animal or plant might be studied at its cellular level. Or an organism, such as a bacterium or yeast, may be worked with, which is unicellular; the study of the animal necessarily means observation of the cell. either a microscope or a flow cytometer is typically involved to take observations of a single cell,. This standard technique of flow cytometry is able to stage the cell's progression through its division cycle by effectively measuring the amount of DNA it currently has. It is possible to make the sort of observations on individual cells, which would draw the statistician into biology at the cellular level.
