Mei-What?

This blog is dedicated to an assignment where I am required to take the sexual and asexual reproduction of species, connect it to genetics, and turn it into a song that is worthy of a music video. Nala and I are symbiotic in our feelings.

Speaking of Nala, maybe I should set my song to the tune of a Lion King song. Between "Hakuna Matata" and, "I Just Can't Wait to Be King!" how could I go wrong? The problem is, how do I throw in the words sexual, asexual, diploid and haploid into the happy-go-lucky tunes of Lion King? Here is a website and video to give you an idea of some of the concepts I need to include within my song. Below are some of my initial tune-like thoughts:

Meiosis, & Mitosis; What wonderful phases
Meiosis  & Mitosis; Reproducing from cells to different races
It means more babies, for the rest of Earth's days
Oh Meiosis, we thank you, for your reproducing ways

Here are my final lyrics that I coined with some sweet dance move and awkward pictures:
