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.

1. Genetic Engineer

2. Who Wants to be a Genetic Engineer? Your Host Mrs. Abatzoglou

3. Instructions: Everyone Plays Version No “life lines” used in this version Play with a partner Record answers on paper before shown correct answers Partners check answers If question is missed you are out Students who answer all 15 questions correctly win

4. Instructions: Traditional Version One student will be chosen to play game based on correctly ordering these terms by size from smallest to largest: Blood Cell 6. Heart Mitochondrion 7. Ribosome Nucleus 8. Nerve cell Atom 9. Bacteria cell Nucleotide 10. Electron

5. Instructions: Traditional Selected student will answer the questions that get progressively harder 3 lifelines, each can be used only once Phone a friend (ask one student in class) Ask audience (ask whole class) 50:50 (teacher reduces options) If student misses question they are out - start over with selecting another student
