Students are required to have a basic knowledge of mathematics (in particular logarithms and functions). For the students who, despite having passed the admission test, reach a score lower than 6 in Chemistry questions specific Additional Educational Obligations (OFA) will be identified to be satisfied within the first year of course. Students with OFA will have to carry out an e-learning recovery path prepared by the Professor of the interested areas, in order to complete their initial preparation. Professors will be at the students' disposal for further information and clarifications. At the end of the course there will be an ongoing test (OFA Recovery Test). The dates and place of the test will be advertised on the Study Program web page. The OFAs are supposed to be satisfied once they have been passed, with a favourable outcome, both the ongoing test and the final examination of the teaching in which the subject of OFA is included.
The biology exam consists of a 31 multiple-choice quizzes.
For chemistry and Biochemistry, the exames will have multiple choice test and 1 question for a total 30 points. For the student with at least 16 points will be proposed a oral exams (1 question).
The final mark will be the average of the two exams.
The objective of the course is to present the hereditary laws of the transmission of the physiological and pathological characters and the diagnostic approach based on current technology the medical personnel have to apply to study the hereditary diseases.
Moreover, introduce pivotal notions of chemistry and biochemistry for the knowledge of: a) f biological systems; b) functions and localization of cellular and tissue metabolic pathways.
Moreover, it aims to understand the principles of biophysical and biochemical methods applicable to prenatal and post-natal diagnostics as well as the diagnostic-clinical aspects related to medical genetics.
The course has also the task to provide a unique scientific chemical/biological based vocabulary to render students able to deal with subsequent teachings.

CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY
All didactic material presented in the classes as well the one necessary for the preparation of the examination (slides, pantries, exercises) is available in the e-learning platform.
Chemistry and Biochemistry: The professor is available for evaluating book already used by students. Moreover, the following text are suggested:
Chimica per le scienze biomediche Sackheim G.I. Lehman D.D. Ed. EdiSes
Chimica e biochimica per le lauree triennali dell’area biomedica Samaja M. Paroni P. Ed. Piccin
Chimica, biochimica e biologia applicata Massimo Stefani, Niccolò Taddei Zanichelli
Biochimica per le scienze motorie A. Di Giulio, A. Fiorilli, C. Stefanelli CEA
The course takes place through 24 frontal lessons of 2 hours each covering the entire exam program.
Chemistry and Biochemistry: 30 hour course. Through the e-learning platform, exercises, commentaries and on-line lessons are also available.
