 really good at biology would there be some
 prerequisite of general science at any level?

my guess would be that the character would have the following (assuming he 
learned entymology at a college before the war)
    entymology-4or5
    biology-3
    general science-3
    chemistry-1or2

 these levels would probably represent the bulk of his biology/entymology 
major at college

 as far as your other question I would point out a few things
  1- a high knowledge indicates the common logic skills that go into general 
science 
     courses
  2-It is very hard to define what is known with general science
  3- most scientific minds (mainly in the chemical/physics) fields spend more 
time dealing with mathematical relations and really don't remember/use those 
minor facts unimportant to them
  4- on a good day, most biology is only half a science  (sorry, just my 
opinion)
