The content of Molecular Genetics was highlighted. and Microorganism and Biotechnology / Genetic engineering appeared with 15 questions each. In view of the analysis of the results, the importance attributed to the content of genetics within the ENEM was identified, considering all its 22 years of history. We can also realize that the correct teaching of genetics within basic education contributes to the potential training and educational reinforcement of its constant presence in today's society.
