Gene - a segment of DNA that codes for a specific function like hair color
Base/Nucleotides - the small "puzzle pieces" that make up DNA and RNA, represented by a letter. When you see something like this: AGCTAT this is called a base sequence, because it is a set of ordered bases
DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid, carries our genetic information, bases: AGCT
RNA - ribonucleic acid, acts as a copy of DNA, bases: AGCU (switch T with U)
CRISPR - a
Clustered area of DNA with a
Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic sequence that is
Repeated throughout
Cas9 - a protein (a molecule in our body) that cuts DNA at a certain part
