FFA Knowledge
FFA was official started in the year
1928
This is any type of reproduction that does not involve meiosis, fertilization or syngamy
What is asexual reproduction
The trait that over powers.
Dominate
The father of genetics.
This is the first step in genetic engineering
What is DNA Extraction
The Pella Christian Vo/Ag/FFA Program began.
2018
These are horizontal stems that grow at the soil surface or below it and new plants form at the nodes
What are runners
The actual expression of a trait
Phenotype
Two of the same alleles
homozygous
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
The first National FFA President
Who was Leslie Applegate?
This type of reproduction creates variation for Biotic and Abiotic stress tolerance
What is Sexual Reproduction
Heredity
This refers to the passage of genetic code from parents to offspring
What is Heredity
A technique use to separate DNA molecules and proteins based on their size
What is Gel Electrophoresis?
Wrote the FFA Creed
Who was E. M. Tiffany?
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
The 4 nitrogen bases that form the steps in the DNA ladder
adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine
This is when an organism has two copies of the same alley for a gene
What is Homozygous
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
What is 19,000?
Grafting
This cell structure surrounds the cell and regulates the entrance and exit of substances to the cell
What is the cell wall
This is the tendency of offspring to possess traits which are superior to the traits of either parent
What is Heterosis
Producing millions of plants from small pieces of tissue
What is micropropagation?
