This study analyzes the relationship between pedagogical scientific inquiry carried out in a biology laboratory and the level of core transversal professional competences among undergraduates majoring in Biology and Chemistry. A cross-sectional correlational design was employed with twelve students who responded to two validated questionnaires (α = 0.930 and α = 0.830). Descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and Spearman's correlation were applied. Results reveal predominance of regular level in transversal competences (69.2%) and pedagogical inquiry (69.2%). A moderate significant positive correlation (ρ = 0.494; p = 0.036) was obtained between both variables. Strengthening curricular integration between laboratory activities and competence development is recommended.
