| Verse When you were a little babe In your mother’s cozy womb You were really good at math. You divided every day In a special kind of way Cells began another path. DNA in all your cells Is identical as well Different genes will get expressed. Chromatin condenses down Into chromosomes it’s wound Mitosis yeah. Chorus Mitosis starts with Interphase now G1’s the first gap with cell growth S phase will copy DNA then G2 will grow still ‘till it’s all done. Verse At the end of Interphase Nucleus is still intact DNA is chromatin. Centrosomes will then appear Centrioles within a sphere Made of microtubules. Then we go to the Prophase Centrioles go separate ways Nucleoli disappear. Spindle fibers start to form Chromatin starts to transform To chromosomes. Chorus Mitotic Phase of the cell cycle Accounts for ten percent of it Most normal cells are in G0 They are not ready to go and split. |
Verse Next we have Prometaphase Where the chromosomes condense Each has kinetochores. Nucleus will disappear Chromosomes with centromere Centrosomes move to the poles. Once the chromosomes arrive At the center of the cell That will mark the Metaphase. Centrosomes are at the poles Microtubules attach To the sister chromatids. Chorus Mitosis starts with Interphase now G1’s the first gap with cell growth S phase will copy DNA then G2 will grow still ‘till it’s all done. Verse Sister chromatids are split And they move to separate poles During Anaphase that’s next. Kinetochores move down the line Motor molecules combine With the spindle fibers now. Telophase is next to come Nuclei will start to form Chromosomes will de-condense The cell will then be split in two Cleavage furrows take their cue And we’re all done. Chorus Mitotic Phase of the cell cycle Accounts for ten percent of it Most normal cell are in G0 They are not ready to go and split. |
