FFA was official started in the year 

1928

100

This is any type of reproduction that does not involve meiosis, fertilization or syngamy 

What is asexual reproduction 

100

The trait that over powers. 

Dominate 

100

The father of genetics. 

Gregor Mendel
100

This is the first step in genetic engineering 

What is DNA Extraction 

200

The Pella Christian Vo/Ag/FFA Program began.

2018

200

These are horizontal stems that grow at the soil surface or below it and new plants form at the nodes 

What are runners 

200

The actual expression of a trait

Phenotype

200

Two of the same alleles

homozygous

200

This is the step of genetic engineering that separates a single gene of interest from the rest of the genes extracted 

What is Gene Cloning 

300

The first National FFA President 

Who was Leslie Applegate?

300

This type of reproduction creates variation for Biotic and Abiotic stress tolerance 

What is Sexual Reproduction 

300
The passing of traits from one generation to the next

Heredity 

300

This refers to the passage of genetic code from parents to offspring 

What is Heredity 

300

A technique use to separate DNA molecules and proteins based on their size   

What is Gel Electrophoresis?

400

Wrote the FFA Creed

Who was E. M. Tiffany?

400

This is a process that can be accomplished with the help of besot birds and can also occur through natural causes such as wind or rain

What is Pollination 

400

The 4 nitrogen bases that form the steps in the DNA ladder

adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine  

400

This is when an organism has two copies of the same alley for a gene 

What is Homozygous 

400

This step in genetic modification involves trying to transport the newly created gene and deliver it into the nucleus without killing the cell

What is Transformation 

500
The number of FFA members in Iowa

What is 19,000?

500
The physical joining of two different plant to control size or improve quality 

Grafting

500

This cell structure surrounds the cell and regulates the entrance and exit of substances to the cell

What is the cell wall 

500

This is the tendency of offspring to possess traits which are superior to the traits of either parent 

What is Heterosis 

500

Producing millions of plants from small pieces of tissue

What is micropropagation?
