For information on the BioLogica program, which was based on GenScope, please go to mac.concord.org) to download the appropriate version of Pedagogica for your computer (PC or Mac). When you run Pedagogica, open the BioLogica folder and then double-click on the GenScope icon.

The Cell Level allows you to see a representative cell of any creature in your species, and to learn about meiosis and fertilization. You can produce offspring from two parents. You can design offspring with specific characteristics by choosing particular gametes, or by controlling segregation and crossover. This series of image samples shows the fertilization process between two organisms. The resulting offspring's genetic makeup is determined by the genes of its parents.
