SUMMARY: This song explains the process of meiosis, which produces sex cells, or gametes, like sperm and eggs cells. It starts with diploid germ cells in the testes and ovaries, which have pairs of chromosomes from both parents. Through meiosis, the chromosome number is halved, creating haploid cells with genetic variation. Key steps include DNA replication in interphase, chromosome pairing and crossing over in prophase I, and the random assortment of chromosomes in metaphase I, leading to genetic diversity. The song also highlights the importance of meiosis in creating unique offspring, preventing clones, and contributing to evolution. Meiosis II mirrors mitosis, where chromatids are separated, completing the process.

Lyrics
Meiosis, it's how we make sex cells, or gametes
The sperm cells or egg cells performing the feat
Of moving genes forward in eukaryotes like orchids and bees.
Meiosis doesn't happen in all cells of the body
There's just a few cells that have this hobby
I'm talking 'bout germ cells in testes and ovaries,
Germ cells are diploid and what that means,
Is that the chomosomes are matched up in teams,
In each pair one's from your dad, one's from your mother.
And when you line up the chromosomes it's suddenly clear
How each is a member of a matched up pair,
Homologous pairs, each a homologue of the other.
In humans,the diploid number's forty six,
And a key trick that happens in meiosis
is dividing that number in half to 23
And that single set of chromosomes has its own name
It's called "haploid" in this meiotic game.
So diploid to haploid's a key meiotic strategy.
CHORUS
Meiosis, makes eggs and sperm
It's the same in the robin as it is in the worm.
Makes haploid gametes with recombination,
Meiosis creates variation!
In interphase I meiosis starts,
It's the DNA replication part
An evolutionary relic of its origin,
'Cause meiosis evolved from mitosis you see,
So each process starts identically
Replicating chromosomes into two sister chromatids.
In Prophase I chromosomes coil up, and homologous pairs pair up,
Forming tetrads, each with chromatids four.
A chiasma's the spot where the chromatids link
And synapsis is the name for the whole darn thing,
And crossing over is what this whole process is for.
See the homologues aren't identical twins-- no way!
They're not the same DNA
The genes are the same but the alleles might take different forms,
So during synapsis alleles can cross over,
Between homologues, and when it's all over,
There are gene combinations that have never been seen before.
CHORUS
Another meiotic variety creator,
Is metaphase one with homologues at the equator,
Cause how each pair lines up is random and independent,
So in one pair facing north might be the maternal,
In the next one it might be the paternal,
It's a one in two shot, it's called independent assortment.
So two pairs divide up in four distinct ways,
It's two to the number of pairs, you could say
So think 'bout us humans with 23 homologous pairs
Two to the 23rd power is a number so great,
Is 8 million,three eighty eight thousand, six-oh-eight
That's why metaphase one is a variety creating affair
And now connect this assortment with recombination,
Note that what we've got during gamete creation,
Is sperm and egg cells that are absolutely unique
So if you ever wondered how sisters and brothers,
Can be so different from one another,
Remeber these meotic recombining techniques.
BRIDGE
And if meiosis had never evolved
The book of life would be a very different tome.
Cause if it wasn't for meiosis
All offspring would be clones!

"its like mom an dad separated and set up new homes" dang why so savage
I was a student of Mr. Wolkenfeld's in highschool and am now a senior at UCSD and still revisit these videos every time I need a refresher! Can't thank you enough Mr. Wolkenfeld!
So sorry that I'm so behind on comments, Sofia! THANKS! Good luck!
I'm in college and this actually helped me! Thank you!
Isadora Kuipers Check out my quizzes at www.sciencemusicvideos.com/quizzes and let me know what you think!
Mr. W
Thank you so much, i wrote a 6 page essay in my biology test today based on this video and you mitosis rap, keep up the good work!
"Meiosis makes eggs and sperm, it's the same in the robin as it is in the worm" - My favourite line! :-)
What does it mean?
@@katkasef7402 it means the process of meiosis is no different for birds than it is for worms despite them being wildly different creatures. I think Leah just liked the line cuz it's a good rhyme tho lol.
this is actually fire, good way to help concepts stick!
love your stuff.
DAT ENDING THO!!
my entire class loves your music. especially the goofball in the front row (coby colby)
3rd period said this song was AWESOME you changed their lives with your number one song. Michael would like to give you a hug. tamundre wants pop tarts.
College Biology can be made easy with these videos!
Hi Joey,
Please take a look at the interactive quizzes about meiosis that I've posted on my website. If you like them, please let your classmates and professors (and me) know.
Here's the link to a menu of all the quizzes I've posted (and you'll find meiosis there).

Thanks,
Mr. W
This is a masterpiece. Thank you for making revision bearable.
I CANT IM DYING 😂😂😂😂😂😂
+Siham Quttub right, the weird shit you find online xD
superb! thanks form us 120 first-year environmental engineers in Switzerland :D
Wädenswil?
Hi Sir, British student here. Your channel may just save my exam. Love it 😊
Im going to start Emailing my biology teacher your videos it might help the class (and me) pass test easier
A wonderful production as always! Thanks for sharing your hard work with the public. I know I really appreciate having it available to me for teaching.
I kept seeing you playing a guitar and singing just like in your videos every night in my dreams long before watching ANY of your videos.
This saves me every time I get confused about meiosis, thank you!

Thanks! But what's an "ECA?" Is it an Early Childhood Activity? A dose of Ephedra, Caffeine, and Aspirin? An extra cellular anomaly?
Let me know.

Mr. W
I just like the part when u say if it isn’t for this or if it never happens or smth like that...that’s the moment when my curiosity sparkles abt what will happen what if?
The ECA is the end of course assessment of which I have to pass in order to graduate . There are at least three. Biology, Algebra, and English. I am taking the Biology one.
Amanda Le Loup
Good luck on your ECA, Amanda!
Mr. W
