DNA REPLICATION SONG
Lyrics:
De/ oxy/ ribo/ nucle/ ic acid is made from two
Strands, a double helix
So then, the strands come apart,
Nitrogen bases, they start
to unzip
By DNA helicase
H2 bonds
Between adenine and thymine
H2 bonds
Between cytosine and guanine
H2 bonds
The ladder structure is strongest in
Phosphodiester links
D-N / A Pol-ym / er-ase
Builds the new strand
From the / 5" to 3"
Direction
H2 bonds
Between adenine and thymine
H2 bonds
Between cytosine and guanine
H2 bonds
The ladder structure is strongest in
Phosphodiester links
Now I can see that its replicating
In a way thats quite interesting (YEAH!)
No matter the distance, the leading strand
Is followed by the lagging one
Finally...the ligase
Seals up all the breaks
A new....a new....a new....DNNNNNNNNNNA!
And it starts again!!
Oh, how I love bi-olo-gy (yeah yeah yeah)
It's better than chemistry
And next time I have to go pee (I know)
what's happening inside of me
