DNA Design

Verse

Cell’s getting ready, DNA and strands align,

Prophase shows up, chromosomes in line.

Metaphase comes, they center up just fine,

Anaphase splits them, telophase says “we’re done this time.”

Chorus

Two new cells in the mirror, identical by design,

That’s mitosis working, body cells doing fine.

But when new life is coming, you’ll see it shift and shine,

Four unique gametes forming, in meiosis we find.

Bridge

Homologous pairs cross, alleles swap in the game,

Haploid cells now ready, each one never the same.

Chromosomes, genes, alleles — watch the story unfold,

Life divides, life evolves, new chapters to be told.

Chorus

Mitosis for repair, meiosis for the new,

Copy or combine — that’s how life makes its move.

Cells keep dividing, through the night and every day,

In the rhythm of the body, in the dance of DNA.
