Crossover occurs when two chromosomes, normally two homologous instances of the same chromosome, break and then reconnect but to the different end piece. Full article >>>
no crossover has occurred. Both copies of the mutant allele have been sequestered in the polar body so the egg may safely be fertilized. For simplicity, the figure shows only the pair of homologues carrying the locus of concern. Full article >>>
However, crossover is the key element that distinguishes genetic algorithms from other methods such as hill-climbers and simulated annealing. Full article >>>
