Mmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is the cell cycle
And we know that cells will divide and grow
This is the cell cycle
Yeah, we know these cells will divide and grow
This is the cell cycle
And in this order is how things will go
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase,
Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
Oh!
Start with Interphase, gather round and listen
It happens every time between cell division
Protein is made and the cell grows in size
The DNA and RNA, they’ll synthesize
During Interphase, a few things are true
There’s Gap 1, S-Phase, and Gap 2
When these things are happening, the growth
is explosive,
All in preparation for Mitosis
This is the cell cycle
And we know that cells will divide and grow
This is the cell cycle
Yeah, we know these cells will divide and
grow
This is the cell cycle
And in this order is how things will go
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,
Telophase, Cytokinesis
Oh!
In cell division, the first step is prophase
Chromatin coils into chromosomes in this stage
Plus, it’s here that nucleolus dwindles
And we start to see a mitotic spindle
Next is metaphase, it’s the second stage
Chromosomes line up straight on the metaphase,
PLATE
So, when it’s time to separate
The new cell body, can have it’s own copy
This is the cell cycle
And we know that cells will divide and grow
This is the cell cycle
Yeah, we know these cells will divide and
grow
This is the cell cycle
And in this order is how things will go
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,
Telophase, Cytokinesis
Oh!
Anaphase, it's the next stage
Chromosomes split and go in opposite ways
Telophase is it, the final step is here
The spindle disappears, nucleolus reappears
The nuclear membrane, it comes back, too
And with that, mitosis is finished, it’s
thru
And then the cell splits, that’s cytokinesis
The two, new cells start over at the genesis
This is the cell cycle, and we know that cells will divide and grow
This is the cell cycle
Yeah, we know these cells will divide and
grow
This is the cell cycle
And in this order is how things will go
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,
Telophase, Cytokinesis
Oh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
