Please HELP! Bio Pre-Req Question

I am so confused on dental school websites that say "1 YEAR GENERAL BIO WITH LAB"

I have taken general biology 1, human physiology, human anatomy (with lab), and microbiology.

I know I need one more bio lab, but I am wondering if I need to take general bio 2 to fulfill the pre-req for dental school? Some people are telling me yes and others who are in dental school told me they never took general bio 2. I don't want to not be able to apply to certain schools because I didn't take general bio 2.

I am currently enrolled in general bio 2, but I am taking biochem and other upper division classes or my major (kinesiology) and would gladly drop it to save time and money if I can. Do all my upper division bio classes (human physio, human anatomy, and micro really not fulfill the last bio requirement?!)

Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Some schools specifically require two semesters of general biology. I would say it's better to take it and not have to worry about it as a requirement, especially if you're already enrolled.
