Prokaryotic mRNAs Have a Ribosome-Binding Site That Recruits the translational Machinery For translation to occur, the ribosome must be recruited to the mRNA.

The allelic frequency at equilibrium (qˆ) depends on the relative fitnesses (usually expressed as selection coefficients) of the two homozygotes:

Hitchhiking

An important consequence of linkage disequilibrium is hitchhiking. This happens when an allele at  one locus spreads by natural selection acting on a second locus that is in linkage disequilibrium with  the first.

Favor intermediate phenotype but eliminate lower and higher-grade phenotype

It introduced homogeneity in the population

Exp - clutch size of birds that lay too many or too few eggs per nest have lower fitness values than do those that lay an intermediate number of eggs
