How are RNA hairpin turns related to termination in E. coli?

A) The turns are formed from complementary base pairing and cause separation of the RNA transcript and RNA polymerase.

There is an autosomal gene that controls baldness, and its expression is sex-influenced. The gene for

baldness (B) is dominant in males but recessive in females. In females, the allele B1 for nonbaldness is dominant over the gene for baldness.
