Captions are on! Click CC to turn off. 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

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.
