Consider skin color is regulated by three genes: A, B, and C. All recessive alleles would be 0 or white on the color scale. All dominant alleles would be 6 or black on the color scale. What color is a person with AAbbCc genotype?

Which of the following occurs when lactose is present in the environment of E. coli?

What is the substance required to cleave the vector DNA during recombinant DNA technology?

What does the plasma membrane do? Explain/describe the components of the plasma membrane.     

You have a dataset with 3 observations: D = {A, B, C}. You generate a Bootstrap sample from this dataset. What is the probability that your bootstrap sample is {A, A, B}? (Give your answer as a two-digit decimal, e.g., 0.73.)

In Generalized Additive Models (GAMs), the model takes the form: Y = \beta_0 + f_1(x_1) + f_2(x_2) + … + f_p(x_p) + \epsilon. What does this allow?

In the geometric interpretation, why does Lasso tend to produce sparse solutions while Ridge does not?

You are building a classification tree for a binary outcome (Class A and Class B). A node currently contains 10 observations: 8 from Class A and 2 from Class B. Calculate the Gini Impurity of this node.(Hint: G i n i = 1 − ∑ k = 1 K p k 2 {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”Gini = 1 – \sum_{k=1}^{K} p_k^2″} , where pk is the proportion of class k. Please provide all your answer as a two-digit decimal (e.g., 0.73.).

How does SVM handle multi-class classification problems?

In Principal Components Regression (PCR), the principal components are constructed using only the predictor variables without considering the response variable (y), which means some components with high variance may not be relevant for predicting the response.
