18. Transcription is the name given to the process in which DNA is copied to make a complementary strand of RNA. RNA then undergoes translation to make proteins. The major steps of transcription are initiation, promoter clearance, elongation, and termination.

19. Straight hair is controlled by a recessive allele because as you can see the one where is not shaded is the one that has the most. There are only 1 shaded circle or square, out of the 12 other circles or square that is not shaded. This means that it is the recessive allele because people are less prone to getting straight hair, as you can see in that diagram.
