Reviewer Comments:

“This resource needs assessment tools added to it. As well, a introduction that includes background information on the content is needed. The activity itself is good but it lacks the background information to set up the students for the concepts addressed.”

"Because of its high interest level for students and the connections between the difference hierarchical levels of genetics, GenScope is a very useful tool for genetics instruction. Many activities could be developed from this program."
