DNA Replication "Friday"

Mrs. Kristen Gunter's 5th Period AP Biology class - `10-`11

DNA Replication explained to the tune of Rebecca Black's "Friday"


Replication time, at any time at all
Gotta get glue, gotta get li-gase
Gotta be ready, gotta not make mistakes
Seein' everything, the time is goin'
Tickin' on and on, everybody's rushin'
Gotta get down to the pri-mer
Gotta catch my ride, I see co-dons

Replication bub-ble
A little strand at a time
Gotta make my mind up
Leading stra-and or lag-ging

It's DNA DNA, polymerase on DNA
all the strands wait-ing for rep-li-ca-tion
DNA DNA, polymerase on DNA
all the strands wait-ing for rep-li-ca-tion
helicase, helicase (YEAH)
unzips my, unzips my (GENES)
Fun fun fun fun. Strands waiting for rep-li-ca-tion

Se-MI conservative cruisin' on the pri-mer
O-ka-za-ki, on the lagging strand
Fun fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
Primase is what, synthesizes
I got this, you got this
Now you know it

Replication bub-ble
A little strand at a time
Gotta make my mind up
Leading stra-and or lag-ging

It's DNA DNA, polymerase on DNA
all the strands wai-ting for rep-li-ca-tion
DNA DNA, polymerase on DNA
all the strands wait-ing for rep-li-ca-tion
helicase, helicase (YEAH)
unzips my, unzips my (GENES)
Fun fun fun fun. Strands waiting for rep-li-ca-tion

Yes-ter-day was lag-ging, lag-ging
To-day it is lead-ing, lead-ing
We we we synthesizing.' We synthesizin'
We gonna have new strands to-day
Tomorrow: a new bubble
And primase comes af-ter-wards
I don't want helicase to e-e-end

It's DNA DNA, polymerase on DNA
all the strands wai-ting for rep-li-ca-tion
DNA DNA, polymerase on DNA
all the strands wait-ing for rep-li-ca-tion
helicase, helicase (YEAH)
unzips my, unzips my (GENES)
Fun fun fun fun. Strands waiting for rep-li-ca-tion
