When the Cell Divides in Two

(Sing to "When the Saints Go Marching In)

Refrain

Oh when the cell, Oh when the cell, Oh when the cell divides in two,

Mitosis keeps the same chromosome number, when the cell divides in two.

 

Oh interphase, Oh interphase, Oh interphase when genes are on,

Molecules are made in great number, when the interphase is on.

Refrain

Oh, in prophase, Oh in prophase, when chromosomes begin to show,

They are condensing, in the nucleus, when chromosomes begin to show.

Refrain

In metaphase, in metaphase, chromosomes and spindle join

Chromosomes line up on the 'equator,' when chromosomes and spindle join.

Refrain

Then anaphase, then anaphase, when chromosomes move to the poles.

They arrive there on the spindle, when chromosomes move to the poles.

Refrain

At telophase, at telophase, chromosomes arrive at poles,

Once more the membrane grows around them, when chromosomes arrive at poles.

Refrain

We’re back at last, to interphase, we’re back at last to interphase.

The chromosomes restore their other (chromatid ) at the S phase.

Refrain
Oh when the cell, Oh when the cell, Oh when the cell divides in two,

Mitosis keeps the same chromosome number, when the cell divides in two.
