I'm still "collecting data" on this one.
Since I'm not taking the DAT til next year, I am not as intimate with the Bio section as you good folks. And I'm still trying to organize what courses I will be taking over the next two semesters.
So, there are 30 or 45 Bio questions, right? What's the breakdown (# of questions per) for each of the following topics.
I'm trying to best determine what the test places emphasis on.
Thanks in advance.
(Last post on this, I promise.)
Here's are the topics that I'm sure you are familiar with:
Cell and Molecular Biology: cell metabolism (including photosynthesis) enzymology; cellular processes: thermodynamics; organelle structure and function; mitosis/meiosis; cell structure; experimental cell biology
Diversity of Life: Biological Organization and Relationship of Major Taxa (monera, plantae, animalia, protista, fungi, etc.) using the five kingdom system
Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology: Structure and Function of Systemsintegumentary, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, immunological, digestive, respiratory, urinary, nervous/senses, endocrine, and reproductive
Developmental Biology: fertilization, descriptive embryology, developmental mechanisms; experimental embryology
Genetics: molecular genetics, human genetics, classical genetics, chromosomal genetics, genetic technology
Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior: natural selection, population genetics/speciation, cladistics, population and community ecology, ecosystems, animal behavior (including social behavior)
