Lyrics
Prophase
The nucleolus disappears
Mitotic spindle forms
Sisters joined by duplicated centromere
Metaphase
Stretching centrioles
Pushing to the center
Grasping for pairs of chromosomes
Anaphase
Digging in their claws
Spindle fibers pull
Genetic material apart
Telophase, separation of cells
Cytoplasm splits before the process begins again
Prophase
Crossing over meets an end
Homologous pairs exist in absence
Metaphase, single columns form
Cell separation exiling the once coupled
Anaphase, reach to the center once again
Separation on a smaller scale dividing chromatids
Telophase, another nucleus forms
Splitting into four before new cells are born
Interphase
Cellular growth, fulfilling function
Interphase (interphase)
Replication of genetic information
This life defined
By change and development
Deep inside
Division and duplication of cells
A constant occurrence within this shell
Necessary for reproduction
Variety created, fulfilling function
Necessary for reproduction
Totality completed
