Gene is the basic unit of heredity, a sequence of DNA nucleotide that encodes a protein.
Cistron is a segment of DNA nucleotides that codes for a polypeptide chain. Triplet is a three nucleotides sequence coding for an amino acid

cistron `~~` gene
DNA fingerprinting is technically called DNA profiling or DNA typing.
