Mr. Parr - Greg Mendel-Meiosis Song lyrics

Greg Mendel greg Mendel he did it again
So I'm gonna let the beat drop

Mendel had a garden
There's so many different pea plants
They had different kinds of seeds
Some green and some were yellow
Then he thought, Oh my gosh
Different trait's
He found heredity, he makes me wanna say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh greg Mendel

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) He makes me wanna say
Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mеndel made a wise dеcision when
He chose to study peas
They are either really t-t tall or short
And droppin' low
Mendel crossbred pea plants they were
Either tall or small
Parent Generation this is what he called them
All of the plant offspring were tall, tall
Tall
He was so surprised he said, Wow, oh, wow
Then F-Generation, pollinated themselves
Tall, tall, tall, Small
But how could that be 'cause
None of the parents were small
Then he checked for other trait's
Color, seed coat, and all, and all, and all

It's dominant, recessive genes
Alleles control inheritance
Let's set up a Punnett Square
Genetic possibilities
Phenotype is physical, visible
But Genetic Mix is Genotype
He makes me wanna' say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh greg Mendel

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) He makes me wanna say

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
He makes me wanna say, Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Meiosis is where cells will split to
End with half the number
Chromosomes for sex cells
Egg and sperm pair with each other
Every chromosome is copied
They're held together

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Meiosis 1

Pairs line up the middle then, spread apart
Two cells form with half the number
Split apart
Chromosomes are double stranded not for long

This is all repeated in Meiosis 2
Centromeres split each strand into two
Four sex cells have been produced
Now with a chromosome, from each, first pair

Mendel had a garden
There's so many different pea plants
They had different kinds of seeds
Some green and some were yellow
Then he thought, Oh my gosh
Different trait's
He found heredity, he makes me wanna say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh greg Mendel

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Greg Mendel

Chant (Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh my) , oh, oh
Oh (oh my) , oh, oh, oh (oh my) ) Greg Mendel

Greg Mendel he did it again
So I'm gonna let the beat drop

Oh, oh, oh my
Oh, oh, oh my, my, my, my, my, my
Greg Mendel

Oh, oh, oh my
Oh, oh, oh my, my, my, my, my, my
Greg Mendel

Oh, oh, oh my
Oh, oh, oh my, my, my, my, my, my
Greg Mendel
