Hi, friends!
So during this time of year, there are many diverse holidays being celebrated.
We love learning about holidays and traditions that occur throughout the year all over the
world.
Petunia and I are pretty big on all things Christmas, and we wanted to have a little
Christmas special that adds in a little bit of biology.
Except we’re going to sing it.
A disclaimer, we probably should not sing.
There’s a reason we are not one of those science singing channels.
Probably shouldn’t write lyrics either.
Start it out, Petunia:
*ahem* On the first day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
a tardigrade in a party hat.
On the second day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
two organelles and a tardigrade in a party hat.
On the third day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
Three domains, two organelles, and a tardigrade in a party hat.
On the fourth day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
four types of blood, three domains, two organelles, and a tardigrade in a party hat.
On the fifth day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
Fiiiiiiiveeeee Punnett squares, four types of blood, three domains, two organelles, and
a tardigrade in a party hat.
On the sixth day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
Six cells a splitting, Fiiiiiiiveeeee Punnett squares, four types of blood, three domains,
two organelles, and a tardigrade in a party hat.
On the seventh day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
7 seeds a‘sprouting 6 cells a’splitting
Fiiiiive Punnett squares 4 types of blood
3 domains 2 organelles
And a tardigrade in a party hat
On the eighth day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
8 contractile vacuoles 7 seeds a‘sprouting
6 cells a’splitting Fiiiiive Punnett squares
4 types of blood 3 domains
2 organelles And a tardigrade in a party hat
On the ninth day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
9 point mutations 8 contractile vacuoles
7 seeds a‘sprouting 6 cells a’splitting
Fiiiiive Punnett squares 4 types of blood
3 domains 2 organelles
And a tardigrade in a party hat
On the tenth day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
10 substrates binding 9 point mutations
8 contractile vacuoles 7 seeds a‘sprouting
6 cells a’splitting Fiiiiive Punnett squares
4 types of blood 3 domains
2 organelles And a tardigrade in a party hat
On the eleventh day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
11 neurons firing 10 substrates binding
9 point mutations 8 contractile vacuoles
7 seeds a‘sprouting 6 cells a’splitting
Fiiiiive Punnett squares 4 types of blood
3 domains 2 organelles
And a tardigrade in a party hat
On the twelfth day of Christmas, a biologist gave to me…
12 chromosomes condensing 11 neurons firing
10 substrates binding 9 point mutations
8 contractile vacuoles 7 seeds a‘sprouting
6 cells a’splitting Fiiiiive Punnett squares
4 types of blood 3 domains
2 organelles And a tardigrade in a party hat
If you’re celebrating a holiday this winter season, we hope it’s a wonderful one.
But regardless of what you’re doing this season, we hope you are able to spend it with
those that you care about.
As we are reminded during this time of year, we want you to know how grateful we are for
you, viewers.
Well, that’s it for the Amoeba Sisters, and we remind you to stay curious.
