Should I take my BIO 110 course on ecology, and evolution?

My college operates on a trimester system, and the intro sequence biology is split into three course 110-130.
Bio 120 and 130 cover cell biology and genetics. I plan to major in biochemistry, but my major doesn't require Bio 110 nor is the course a required prereq for any other courses. if I don't take it would I be fine the general biology requirements for most medical schools?

Welcome to the forums.

What does your prehealth office suggest? If you are a biology major, If it's not required, you need to confirm that skipping the course doesn't prevent you from taking other important intermediate or upper-level courses.

The tricky part is that semester/trimester hours problem. Taking 2 trimesters of intro bio is not the same as taking 2 semesters of intro bio (usually required unless the med school has listed "content competencies"). That's why you ask your prehealth advisors or the bio department advisors on campus.
