SUMMARY: A five minute musical explanation of how meiosis creates variation!
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!
Metaphase one: homologues at the equator
Anaphase one: they say "see you later"
It's like Mom and Dad splitting up and setting up new homes.
Two nuclei form in telophase one,
Then cytokinesis-meiosis one is done,
We've got two haploid daughters, still with doubled chromosomes.
Now things are much simpler in part two of meiosis
Essentially it's like just mitosis,
You just need to pull those sister chromatids apart,
They line up in the center in metaphase two
Anaphase pulls them apart we're almost through,
Telophase, then cytokinesis, we're at the last part.

"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!
"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.
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!
this is actually fire, good way to help concepts stick!
love your stuff.
I CANT IM DYING 😂😂😂😂😂😂
+Siham Quttub right, the weird shit you find online xD
DAT ENDING THO!!
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.
my entire class loves your music. especially the goofball in the front row (coby colby)
Hi Sir, British student here. Your channel may just save my exam. Love it 😊
superb! thanks form us 120 first-year environmental engineers in Switzerland :D
Wädenswil?
Why is this not in textbooks! You taught me this in 5 min and I've been at this for weeks with the teacher. Thank you so much x 1 googolplex
Hi NinjaToaster,
I love comments like this! Please help spread the word. Maybe an email to your favorite textbook publisher. Or at least a tweet and a facebook post!
Good luck with meiosis!
Mr. W
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.
I studied this in my class and needed a revision. Best revision ever!
Thanks! If you ever have a biology question, send it over. I'm happy to help!
As a college freshman who has an exam on cytology in a few hours this video is gold.
Awesome! You know that I have tutorials, right. Check the description
College Biology can be made easy with these videos!
Hi Joey,

I found your channel when researching glycolosis for an essay on canine diabetes, now I search for you by name for every assignment I get. So helpful to have the basics of a theory explained in a catchy, easy to understand and memorable way before getting down to the nitty gritty. Thanks for sharing =D

Thanks for spreading the word, Pandaman!
Mr. W
sciencemusicvideos belive it or not i was singing during my final exam of biology.i m known as a singer at school the teacher came up to me and said girl u better stop ur getting crazy day by day at least dont sing i the exam hall .😣 now can anyone tell me that whats wrong with singing huh ?
Sir- I am studying for a biology test with my friends and you, my friend, completely saved us. Thank you.
This is so amazing. Thank you!
OMG!! YOU'RE RLY BRILLIANT !!!
Thx alot!! I've been suffering an hating meiosis for as long as i can remember!
Salute to your hard work.
So much help for the ECAs in this song. Thanks
Amanda Le Loup
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
wow jesus this is amazing
Why does everyone not know about this
Thanks, Anthony.
Please spread the word to your colleagues. I'll have an mp3 on iTunes soon. And look for my Krebs cycle song coming up in a few days!
Have a great year teaching!
Mr. W
Great vid, keep it up
If i had found this two years ago i would passed biology by now
this helped me very much 🤩🤩
