LYRICS
Interphase is cell division's longest part,
nuclear membrane's intact as it starts,
The cell's growing, cytoplasm flowing,
chromosomes get duplicated, DNA gets replicated
Chromosomes are spread out so they can't be seen distinctly
But note the nucleolus, the ribosome factory
Outside the nucleus are two centrosomes,
They later make a spindle which will pull apart the chromosomes.
Prophase follows, the chromosomes condense,
Each is made of two sister chromatids, (looks) like an "X"
Each sister is a clone, the closest of kin,
And a centromere connects them like siamese twins,
The nucleolus disappears it melts away,
as the cell takes a ribosome production holiday,
the centrosomes separate, start spindle formation
for separating chromatids and cell elongation.
CHORUS
Mitosis, chromosomal ride
Inter-, pro-, meta-, ana-, telophase, divide
Eukaryotes go from one cell to two,
Mitosis, how cells renew.
In late prophase --prometaphase,
The nuclear membrane disintegrates,
The centrosomes migrate to the cell's opposing sides,
And between them the fibers of the spindle wend and wind,
The spindle's made of microtubule fibers which attach
to chromosomes at kinetochores, a protein patch
that serves like a handle that the fibers can grasp,
When they pull apart the chromosomes, splitting them in half,
The spindle moves the chromosomes with nudges so fine,
Into linear formation on the 50 yard line
A location equatorial defining metaphase,
where the chromosomes are lined up on that middle place
CHORUS
The spindle fibers pull on the kinetochores,
A cellular molecular mitotic tug of war,
The centromere snaps, sisters get separated,
Now these chromatids are chromosomes, they've been upgraded
This snapping separation defines anaphase
The "A" for "apartness", for moving different ways,
Kinetochore spindle fibers separate the sisters
See 'em waving goodbye, calling out "I'm gonna miss ya,"
And the other spindle fibers push and grapple like felons
Makes the cell elliptical like a watermelon,
In telophase membranes form 'round the chromosomes
Which spread out as the nucleoli come on home
CHORUS
In animal cells there's a ring of micofilaments
that form at the equator and they cinch themselves in
Tighter, tighter, tighter, tighter 'til the cell is in two pieces,
Yeah in animals, that's cytokinesis
But it's different in plants in them the cell divides
By building a new cell wall from the inside
As the Golgi sends vesicles with cellulosic goo,
Which makes a plate, then a wall, divides the cell in two
And instead of one mother cell we now have daughters two
Identical twins, kind of old but kind of new,
From your single celled beginning this is how you grew
And for single celled eukaryotes it's reproductive too!

Mr. W
@@sciencemusicvideos ok!!
for reals !
Mr. W
Killer: You have 3 minutes to live
Me:
Ok...I think you're saying that if you had three minutes to live, you'd listen to "Mitosis." That's some dark praise (but thanks!)
May there be a bit more light in your life.
Mr. W
Wooooosh
@@sciencemusicvideos sorry man, but r/wooosh
I came from reddit lol

FunnyGuy 619 lol I have my test this Friday, I’m so gonna ace it now with this video 😂
i have exam this tuesdqy cell i gonna rap😂
When he said “chromosome” I felt that
For real tho
Underrated comment
my college bio profession just played this for our auditorium of 200 students and at first we were like omg then it hit the chorus and everyone was like turn upppp XD
That's awesome, Emily. Check out the quizzes at my website, www.sciencemusicvideos.com! Let me know what you think!
Mr. W
sciencemusicvideos hi dad
@@sciencemusicvideos this website is very helpful, thank you!
Same for my prof last year! It was awesome hahaha. I'll never forget details about cell division again thanks to this guy and my awesome prof.
How the hell did youtube know that I am studying this now!

(@Chuck Warren) Say it louder for the people in the back. Amen brother.
Yaaaaaasssssss
This song is the funniest thing our science class heard last year and it's gotten a lot of respect. It's funny and informative, we thank you for livening up our science year!
Ben Campbell
Thank you, Ben, for such a nice comment!
Mr. W
I get to sing this in science class for extra credit lol
TheKillingCreepOfMc Make a video! I'd love to see it!
Mr. W
sciencemusicvideos at 1:49 when you say the chromatids become chromosomes,
don't you mean Chromosomes become chromatids?
Hi mat. Here's how it works. Start of interphase there's one long chromosome. During interphase there's a duplication where the chromosome becomes two identical sister chromatids. During anaphase, the chromatids are pulled apart, becoming full-fledged chromosomes.
Hope that helps!
Ay same bruh
Low key this is probably the best science rap I've heard ever. All the other ones have so much auto-tune that you can't even understand what they're trying to say/sing
Doctor: you have 3 minutes and 17 seconds left to live
Me: watching Mitosis Rap: Mr. W's Cell Division Song
ur name is GOD
White man got bars
мιa ѕмιтн taehyung 😉
I got an A on my mitosis test because this song was stuck in my head the whole time lol! thanks!
thatkid liv
Way to go!
Mr. W
Makin it outta the cell with this one🔥🔥🔥🔥
That so good!
Lol somehow you've made late night studying for AP Bio fun :)
ayyy we both took that class the same year haha I wish I saw this video 3 years ago
Legend still states his cells are signing this song

sciencemusicvideos this was amazing
You spit more fire than my butt hole after a bean burrito. (That's a compliment)
Is there a vocal track for this? I'd love to have it
1 day before my science test... already feeling more confident after listening to this
I memorized all the lyrics. Singing this in class
Apparently teachers assume we can appreciate somethinf like this at 8.45 am
Lenny try 7:20
Try Monday 8:00 on a long day (every class is an hour and 30 minutes long) or every day you have biology.
you can always appreciate this.
i appreciate this at 4 am
Would you rather prefer a classic boring dictation instead?
Excellent video, i will check back
I have a biology test tomorrow and when one of my friends from my class sent this video to me I was very thankful because I know nothing! Thanks for being you Mr.W!!!
u do not deserve dos dislikes
ikr
hell yeah
deserve more likes and views
They don't bother me, Zoe. Compare them to the "likes"! Thanks for your comment!
Mr. W
stay fresh mr w
You're very talented! Thank you for making the world a better place with your efforts to help others
Alan Trujillo Wow! What a great comment! Thanks, Alan.
Please check out the mitosis quizzes and flashcards at my website, www.sciencemusicvideos.com/quizzes. Leave me a comment letting me know what you think!
Mr. W
I love seeing how much youtubes auto captions fail on this song. "ass that serves like a hammock that the bike has been ground when they put" lol
Very helpful, especially when you take the quiz that goes with it. Thank you so much for putting this together! We need more educators like you in the sciences.
this guy has MAD talent. this song is ALWAYS stuck in my head!! Mitosis, chromosomal ride Inter, pro, meta, ana, telophase divide!
Wow, thanks!
Ok this was sooo hilarious, and creative. It didn't sound too nerdy actually, nice work!! Now I need to rewatch so I can pay attention to what the verses are saying!! Lol thank you man
THIS HELPS SO MUCH FOR FINALS THANK YOU!
I love comments like this, Good luck on your final, Steven. Also, I just posted a few interactive quizzes at www.sciencemusicvideos.com/quizzes. Let me know what you think, and if you like them, please spread the word!
Mr. W (tweeting @GlennWolkenfeld)
THANK YOU AGAIN! It helps when you study the material inside and out and then watch your videos which are a great reinforcer to what ive been studying!
The gift that keeps on giving, 9yrs later we’re still singing about Mitosis. Thank you Mr. W.
it’s been two years since my science teacher played this for us in class and coming back to it is also nostalgic lol
I just started singing this song out of nowhere!I first listened to this song in 6th grade in science class😂😂...I'm going to college now..that's crazy 😂
I wish College students would understand my humor
I'm not funny ;-;
One thing that seperates these videos from the others is that there is an original tune to accompany this song. This is very helpful because whenever you hear this tune, you can only associate that tune with the lyrics and will not be distracted by the original lyrics if it were not an original song. This helps ensure that we remember the scientific knowledge being shared here. Thank you for the vids and do keep this up.
this song has changed my life for the better thank you so much for creating this beautiful masterpiece
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm very much an auditory learner, and my professor is mostly just a take notes from the PowerPoint kinda man, so this is invaluable. This plus the quizzes you provide are amazing. I actually understand what I need to now. :) Thank you for making this public for everyone like me, who struggles just a little in a lot of classroom settings and needs some out of class supplement.
fearsomesharks
Wow. What a great comment! Please spread the word about my channel and website!
thanks!
Mr. W
This was awesome and helped me so much for my bio quiz on mitosis, thanks so much.
Very talented man. I passed my science test thanks to this vid!
Really cool stuff. Keep doing' yo thang.
I remember this song from 3 years ago. It's amazing! Thank you so much!!
Very helpful for my upcoming tests, sir. Appreciation from the UK :)
Fucking Fire
This is such a great song. I learned it word for word! Thank you!
This played on spotify while I showered. Now is on my spotify playlist, I'm low key obsessed.
That moment your science teacher shows this to you to explain cells, then your class proceeds to beg for her to play it again. We yelled the lyrics the second time
The first I've seen that "works"! Thanks!

Mr. W
I heard this 6 years ago and went back tonight to track it down since I figured the nostalgia might help me better remember how mitosis works. Thanks so much for making this!
I love it when former HS students need to study this much later, and it's still useful. Thanks for your comment.
high key this engrained mitosis in my brain thank u mr. w
This is awesome! I found this because I was looking up the Mitosis Song (Black eyed peas version)
This is amazing and I'm so passing my osmosis and mitosis quiz!
chicgreekgeek11
Awesome! Great job!
Mr. W
Thank you for the Amazing, very informative song. Now I know how to rap. Continue your good works dude. You really made complex things, enjoyable and easy to understand.
I'm studying for college anatomy and physiology. This is only one part of the many things I have to memorize by next Wednesday!!! Memorizing this now... great job
This is amazing! Glen you are such a gangsta!! Keep on keepin on.
Best Rap I've hear in my life! It's fun, educational, and has a good beat! Love it!
Julianne Montano Eastman Wow! Thanks! Check out my mitosis quizzes at www.sciencemusicvideos.com/quizzes.

Mr. W
sciencemusicvideos
ok i will, thank you!
This is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's helping me help my teenager learn!
This is the best way I've found to get the information in my head so far! Thanks for the awesome video! :)
Fun video, nice bassline, great information Mitosis how cells renew!
I linked to it in my telophase show notes!
I learned more about mitosis watching this than in bio class
me to
Hey! Your videos are amazing. So full of all the information that students need to know (for IB Biology) and delivered in such an entertaining and memorable way. Thanks for adding something different to my lessons for my students to enjoy!
Great to hear, Mr. MartinWard. If you're a teacher, consider using my interactive biology curriculum with your students: sciencemusicvideos.com/ap-bio-teacher/ (it has many useful things for the IB curriculum)
It's great keep on doing . You're so original I have never seen or heard anything like that . Just respect and and more masterpieces :)
do more you are fabulous
My teacher showed us this in 6th grade and I still remember the lyrics. It’s a joke between our friends to sometimes bring this up.
OMG this is the understatement of the year but you're so awesome!
THIS IS AMAZING! I have a Biology mock exam tomorrow, and this has genuinely made revision worth it :)
damn, is this on spotify??
I love this guy! So far this song and Glyclosysis are my jam. It takes a lot of talent to do this. Hope Mr. W is doing well!!
Yo this randomly popped in my head 8 years after I saw it, in 7th grade science class and I revisited. Throwback to a classic
deadass how I learned about mitosis lmao. still remember it 4 years later
Green screen effect-Beutiful
Mitosis man: This Man Is God
damn bruh dat shit be poppin
I love the chorus :D Thank you! This makes studying for the MCAT quite fun.
wish had a teacher like him :D
This is soo good the whole callcenter is viben
RIDICULO
I needed this, thank you
I remember watching this as a freshman in high school to remember, now rewatching it in college as a pre vet major :)
That was straight bars bruh!!!
Better than Tupac and Biggie!!!
Dylan G728 i’m hinting at this generation is trash af and shouldn’t exists
Aaron young Homie, is that you? If not I got a friend w your same name.
Isaac Coal it’s me foo
Aaron young Fr? If it's you, what game of yours did you give me to take care of when you were gone?
Aaron young woooooosh
Yo this is straight fire!!! 🙌🏼
I still remember the chorus for this song 5 years after having needed it for high school. I am from Spain and still this helped so much. I remember it with so much love
Wow! You’ve made my day!❤️
Thank you so much for these videos! This one in particularly help with my biology homework immensely!
I will use this to study for the finals
If only this showed up on my recommended before the biology exam 😂
This is fantastic Mr. W! I memorized the chorus and I sing it all the time now :)
Amazing!!
Brilliant work.Thankyou soo much.
This helped for my bio exam thanks x from scotland
Can u tell me the guitar chords
This is super late, but the chorus alternates between *Eb minor7* and *Ab major*
That's too fun, I can remember the mitosis process quite clear and impressive
!
I'm glad you found the video fun and helpful! It's always great when learning something new sticks with you.
This has never left my mind
