Greg Mendel-Meiosis Song
Greg Mendel and Meiosis Song. Here is a video I created for my 6th grade science students to help them study.I hope you enjoy. Greg Mendel

Greg Mendel
He did it again, so I'm gonna let the beat drop

Chorus
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 traits
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
Mendel made a wise decision 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 traits
Color, seed coat, and all, and all, and all
Chorus
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.
Half-time Chorus
Mendel had a garden

They had different kinds of seeds
Some green and some were yellow
Then he thought, Oh my gosh, different traits
He found heredity, he makes me wanna say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
