| OH DNA! By Carol B.and Catherine S. (sung to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree") Oh DNA! Oh DNA! How lovely are your bases. Oh DNA! Oh DNA! Carries our genetic traces. Adenine and Thymine, always paired, always a team. Oh DNA, Oh DNA! How lovely are your bases. Oh DNA! Oh DNA! How lovely are your bases. Oh DNA! Oh DNA! Carries our genetic traces. Guanine and Cytosine, always paired in every being. Oh DNA, Oh DNA! How lovely are your bases. Oh DNA! Oh DNA! How lovely is your structure. Oh DNA! Oh DNA! It is a double helix. The sides of the ladder are composed, of Phosphate and deoxyribose. Oh DNA, Oh DNA! How lovely is your helix. |
| DNA! By Erica L. and Carol S. to the tune of "Winter Wonderland" Had a test? Got an F? Tough to get an easy A? Well genius it seems, is a recessive gene. The fault is your parents' DNA. You sit in science class and feel ugly, Teacher's criticisms hard to take. But the next time you get ripped on you say smugly: "My parents' gametes made a big mistake." You can't help what's in your cells. Lousy chromosomes aren't swell. So when you choose a mate, for your kid's sake Find someone with decent DNA! |

| Mitosis By Katie B. (To "Jingle Bells") Inside the cell, before it splits in two. There are several phases the nucleus goes through. A student wrote this song to help you learn the way, The nucleus divides itself each and every day. Interphase, interphase the resting point for cells. This is where growth occurs in the parent cell. Prophase, prophase chromosomes have replicated, Soon they will appear so they can be separated. Metaphase, metaphase, metaphase is great, This is where chromosomes line up at the equatorial plate. Anaphase, anaphase, anaphase comes next. This is where the chromosomes finally disconnect. Telophase, telophase, the last one of them all, Ending with two nuclei that are identical. |
