What subject matter does the DAT cover?
Survey of the Natural Sciences Biology: • Cell and Molecular Biology – origin of life; cell metabolism (including photosynthesis)/ enzymology; cellular processes: thermodynamics; organelle structure and function; mitosis/meiosis: Diversity of Life: Biological Organization and Relationship of Major Taxa (monera, planti, anamalia, protista, fungi, etc.) using the five kingdom system; • Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology: Structure and Function of Systems – integumentary, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, immunological, digestive, respiratory, urinary, nervous/senses, endocrine, and reproductive; • Developmental Biology – fertilization, descriptive embryology, and developmental mechanisms; • Genetics – molecular genetics, human genetics, classical genetics, and chromosomal genetics; • Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior – natural selection, population genetics/speciation, cladistics, population and community ecology, ecosystems, and animal behavior (including social behavior).
