Of course it has a Calculus prerequiste. That's
follows quite naturally from the evolutionary
observation that Pasteur has both Calculus
prerequistes, infintesimal particles, reading glasses,
and meter-miles, thanks to Newton, not God.
That still doesn't change the fact that genetics
is so orthongal to biology, that is it's not
off-limits to Biologists, it's also off-limits
to the extremely-weird, like students.
