How Genetics Works for Me
A cheerful educational song that teaches children about genetics, genotypes, phenotypes, and inheritance using catchy lyrics and memorable concepts.
Inside every living thing, Are tiny recipes so small, Called genes that tell our bodies, How to grow up big and tall!
Genotype's the recipe, Phenotype's what we can see! Instructions cooking in the cell -- A whole me from a tiny spell!
Your genes decide your eye color, Brown or blue or green they'll be, The recipe is written down, But your eyes are what we see!
Genotype's the recipe, Phenotype's what we can see! Instructions cooking in the cell -- A whole me from a tiny spell!
From your mom and from your dad, You get genes from both of them, Half the recipes come from mom, Half from dad - that's quite a gem!
Some genes make you tall or short, Some decide your hair's color too, The genotype's the secret code, Phenotype's the real you!
Genotype's the recipe, Phenotype's what we can see! Instructions cooking in the cell -- A whole me from a tiny spell!
