Verse 1

It happens in the gonads, where gametes are made,

Two divisions occur — a biological parade.

Meiosis one cuts chromosomes in half, you see,

Then Meiosis two makes four — diversity!

Chorus

uhhhuhhhuhh

Meiosis is a type of cell division

in which a diploid parent cell divides

twice to produce four haploid

daughter cells, each having half the

number of chromosomes

of the parent cell.

Verse 2

It keeps chromosome numbers steady and right,

Brings variation — a genetic delight!

Gametes are formed for new life to begin,

That’s how heredity keeps running within.

Chorus

uhhhuhhhuhh

Meiosis is a type of cell division

in which a diploid parent cell divides

twice to produce four haploid

daughter cells, each having half the

number of chromosomes

of the parent cell.
