What is the difference beteween an MS degree in Biology and an MA degree in Biology?

I am looking to go to Grad school to get my master’s in Biology. However, I have been looking at different schools and notice that some schools offer an MS in Biology, while others offer an MA in Biology. I am confused… Is there any difference between the 2, or are they basically the same degree with different names?

What is taught to Chemistry students and on an average, what does your typical Chemist do?

Also, I’ve read that Chemistry students tend to specialize in a type of Chemistry in Grad School, are there any students who specialize or gain further degrees in the Chemistry of Explosives? Similar to what Alfred Nobel did.
