I have been reading on this forum that biochem and genetics have lately been emphasized by the MCAT and they have slowly been shifting away from physiology.
Can anyone tell me what this means specifically? Biochem and genetics are very broad terms so I don't know exactly what they encompass. I have a strong science background (studying biomedical engineering at a top school) but I haven't taken an official biochem or genetics class. What kind of genetics is it? and biochem?
I am unfamiliar with the terminology everyone uses on this site but I presume on the MCAT Molecular Genetics deals with the central dogma and mitosis/meiosis, Evolutionary Genetics is Punnett squares and Hardy-Weinberg, and biochem deals with enzymes and the molecular basis of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, etc. Am I on the right track?
Can anyone please give me example of what kind of questions I should be expecting with regards to these questions?
Thanks!
