The document provides instructions for a genetics trivia game with 15 multiple choice questions about genetic engineering concepts. It explains that students can play individually or in pairs to answer questions of increasing difficulty about topics like DNA structure, RNA, transcription, translation and more. The winner is the student/pair that answers all 15 questions correctly.
