If you want to see what is covered, go to a bookstore and skim through the Kaplan DAT book.

I recommend taking anatomy before taking the DAT even though it is not official a prereq. I think Bio tends to be a bit more of a crap shoot as to what questions comes up in the test. This will prepare you better for the Bio section.
 
I never took anatomy and I thought that the kaplan book did a fine job of preparing my for the depth of anatomy questions asked on the DAT.
