Questions and Answers

Which statement is correct about crossover in genetic algorithms?

  • Crossover only occurs at the beginning of the algorithm.
  • Crossover creates offspring by combining genes from two parents. (correct)
  • Crossover ensures diversity in each generation.
  • Crossover can be performed in various ways, such as single-point, two-point, or uniform crossover. (correct)

What is the primary purpose of crossover in genetic algorithms?

  • To introduce random mutations.

Flashcards

Crossover in Genetic Algorithms

A genetic operation that combines genetic material from two parent chromosomes to create offspring.

Crossover Methods

Different ways to combine genetic material from parents, such as single-point, two-point, or uniform crossover.

Crossover and Diversity

Crossover contributes to the variety of solutions in successive generations of genetic algorithms.

Purpose of Crossover

Creating new solutions (offspring) by combining traits from the best solutions (parents).
