Genes are sections of this molecule.
What is DNA?
CRISPR is a tool used to do this to DNA.
What is edit (or cut)?
DNA is often described as this type of structure (shape).
What is a double helix?

What is height? (accept others)
CRISPR is often compared to these because it cuts DNA.

DNA is found inside this part of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the study of how traits are passed down.
What is genetics?
CRISPR can target DNA at this type of location.
What is a specific spot?
Humans share about this percentage of DNA with each other.
What is 99.9%?
Traits are passed from these people to offspring.
Who are parents?
This is the main job of CRISPR in science.
What is gene editing?
DNA acts like this everyday item that gives instructions.
What is a recipe book (or instruction manual)?
A trait that shows even if only one parent passes it down.
What is a dominant trait?
