It was evident from this study that a large number of issues involving genetics and subareas are being demanded in evidence ENEM and ENADE.A high number of terms involving the current genetic and subareasis being addressed in the ENEM and ENADE tests.Books available by EEEMF Orlando Venâncio, in Cuité PB, are updated and contain them most categories elucidated in this work.The menus of General Genetics and Population Genetics and Evolution from Biological Sciences undergraduate course, Center for Education and Health, could be updated for contents and alsofor the basic and supplementary literature. In addition, the demographic characteristics of the studied sample, the perception of former students on the content of Genetics and subareas taught in the classroom, the perception of the former students about their learning of the content of Genetics and subareas learned in the classroom and the importance of genetics for the alumni are discussed in a comparative manner to ENEM/ENADE and sample population.
