Lyrics:
Thinking about cells
They can reproduce and divide all by themselves
One of two division forms known as mitosis
A mother cell divides into two identical daughters, perfect copy
Remember this, two identical copies, K?
Two sets of chromosomes, nucleus DNA
Most cell divisions in your body’s system used for your development
And old cells that get worn out, mitosis makes perfect copies, ah

Let’s start with the interphase
Right before mitosis takes place
The DNA within the cell is copied
And centrosomes copied, the role this will play is a key

And now we move to the prophase
where chromosomes condense into x-shapes
mitotic spindle grows, extends to opposite poles
And hey, dissolve the nuclear membrane

Metaphase is the next one
Chromosomes spindle into the middle and then they’re all lined up
Every chromosome has two kinetochores
With microtubules secured to opposite spindle poles 

Hey, and how we on to the Anaphase
When sister chromatids separate
Thanks to the motor proteins
Moving along microtubules as molecular machines

Oh hello, Mr. Telo (phase!)
Almost done dividing into two, then onto cell growth
That mitotic spindle disappear
And new nuclei start to form here and here

And when the cytoplasm splits
Concurrent with telophase, it’s called cytokinesis
It’s different whether your cell is in plants or animals
Just remember after this, you have two identical cells

Inter, Pro, Meta
Ana, Telophase

Inter, Pro, Meta
Ana, Telophase

THE MITOSIS SONG | Science Music Video

What is DNA?  Find out in this insanely good music videos from the 2015-2016 Science Rap Academy. The song is based on “Fade Away” by Logic. It was researched, written, sung, shot, filmed and edited by 8th graders from The Nueva School in California.

Beat and mixing by @ChaseMooreMusic

SCIENCE RAP ACADEMY: 7th and 8th grade students from the Nueva School meet twice a week to research science, write and record lyrics, then conceptualize, shoot, and edit a music video. The "DNA" team consisted of Beckett & Cole.

For inquiries, please contact Tom McFadden, teacher of the "Science Rap Academy", at tmcfadden at nuevaschool dot org.

LYRICS
Interphase is cell division's longest part,
nuclear membrane's intact as it starts,
The cell's growing, cytoplasm flowing,
chromosomes get duplicated, DNA gets replicated

Chromosomes are spread out so they can't be seen distinctly
But note the nucleolus, the ribosome factory
Outside the nucleus are two centrosomes,
They later make a spindle which will pull apart the chromosomes.

Prophase follows, the chromosomes condense,
Each is made of two sister chromatids, (looks) like an "X"
Each sister is a clone, the closest of kin,
And a centromere connects them like siamese twins,

The nucleolus disappears it melts away,
as the cell takes a ribosome production holiday,
the centrosomes separate, start spindle formation
for separating chromatids and cell elongation.

CHORUS
Mitosis, chromosomal ride
Inter-, pro-, meta-, ana-, telophase, divide
Eukaryotes go from one cell to two,
Mitosis, how cells renew.

In late prophase --prometaphase,
The nuclear membrane disintegrates,
The centrosomes migrate to the cell's opposing sides,
And between them the fibers of the spindle wend and wind,

The spindle's made of microtubule fibers which attach
to chromosomes at kinetochores, a protein patch
that serves like a handle that the fibers can grasp,
When they pull apart the chromosomes, splitting them in half,

The spindle moves the chromosomes with nudges so fine,
Into linear formation on the 50 yard line 
A location equatorial defining metaphase,
where the chromosomes are lined up on that middle place

CHORUS

The spindle fibers pull on the kinetochores,
A cellular molecular mitotic tug of war,
The centromere snaps, sisters get separated,
Now these chromatids are chromosomes, they've been upgraded

This snapping separation defines anaphase
The "A" for "apartness", for moving different ways,
Kinetochore spindle fibers separate the sisters
See 'em waving goodbye, calling out "I'm gonna miss ya,"

And the other spindle fibers push and grapple like felons
Makes the cell elliptical like a watermelon,
In telophase membranes form 'round the chromosomes
Which spread out as the nucleoli come on home

CHORUS

In animal cells there's a ring of micofilaments
that form at the equator and they cinch themselves in
Tighter, tighter, tighter, tighter 'til the cell is in two pieces,
Yeah in animals, that's cytokinesis

But it's different in plants in them the cell divides
By building a new cell wall from the inside
As the Golgi sends vesicles with cellulosic goo,
Which makes a plate, then a wall, divides the cell in two

And instead of one mother cell we now have daughters two
Identical twins, kind of old but kind of new,
From your single celled beginning this is how you grew
And for single celled eukaryotes it's reproductive too!
