Science

Verse 1)

Deep in the cell, where the story is spunChromosomes hold all the work that is done

Built out of DNA, a twisted-up thread

Where genes are the units, like words that are read

Found at the locus, those different spotsAlleles are the versions of traits that we've got.

(Chorus)

It’s the code in the blood, it’s the way that we growGenotype is the secret that’s hidden below

But phenotype shows, yeah, it’s out in the light

The dominant takes over, hiding the recessive from sight

Whether homozygous same, or heterozygous mix

It’s the Mendelian game, yeah, it’s genetics' tricks.

(Verse 2)

Grab a Punnett Square, draw the boxes in four

To see what the offspring might have in their storeMonohybrid for one, Dihybrid for twoProbability tells us what’s coming to view

The Genotypic ratio shows us the genes

The Phenotypic ratio is what the look means

A Pedigree chart tracks the history line

Tracing the traits through the passing of time.
