Can I take MCB C160 without MCB 102 or MCB 100A?

<p>I'm an EECS major and I had a friend (also an EECS major) who took this class last year and he had only done AP Bio in high school and got an A in this class.</p>

<p>Is it possible to succeed in this class even if I haven't taken the upper division Bio/Chem pre-reqs? Will the class's textbook and the professor's lectures give me all the knowledge I need?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
