If I want to do biological research involving disease, inheritance and metabolism what Bachelor's do I start next to?
Answers:
Definitely Biology as a major since biology departments offer physiology, genetics, and biochemistry. However, chemistry is essential as is calculus (which is normally a prerequisite to some courses. Basically, you should take a pre-med curriculum (as a pre-med advisor for a course list). Applying to graduate school in inheritance or physiology and then doing a post-doc in pathology or possibly in a cellular metabolism lab would be the course to go. You will get better advice as you achieve closer to completing your undergrad degree. Study hard. Try to work in a lab to be precise doing research in one of the areas you are interested in. You can often work contained by a lab (if you are at a larger university) and get credit for it as an "independent study." Important suggestion-- if you take one or two independent credit courses, you usually get to select the title of the course. Think of something that will look biddable on a transcript and keep in mind that you may take two or three semesters so regard as carefully about this. Good luck. Science is awesome.

A Bachelor's degree in Biology, human biology or biochemistry would be great choices. Go heavy on math and sciences and your jr year you can state a major.
