Every human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene. Some traits are caused by abnormal genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new mutation. Proteins are probably the most important class of material in the body. Proteins are not just building blocks for muscles, connective tissues, skin, and other structures. They also are needed to make enzymes.
Physical Therapist Degree. Professional (entry-level) physical therapist education programs in the United States only offer the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree to all new students who enroll.
Bachelor's Degrees. A master's degree is required to become a physical therapist. It is common for students to complete three years of an undergraduate program in exercise science, physical sciences, or a related field before matriculating to a physical therapy program. Admission to such programs is competitive.
