Well all that is left is math after bcp. I think BC are the most. then P, and then least is M. My guess.

I think overall science is looked at more. Adcoms are probably more interested in seeing how well you do in science classes than in just a few specific types of science classes.

Although the sciences can vary, they all include a certain method of thinking.

Why do they calculate grades with and without +/-? If there is a difference, does anyone know which is more important?

Some schools don't utilize +/- grades, so it is just another way of normalizing everything.

One is not more important than the other, since it is done to every candidates application. As long as schools choose one to look at then all apps are standardized across the board.
