_Female

protected final Nuclear _Female

The female mate (mother-to-be).

_Male

protected final Nuclear _Male

The male mate (father-to-be).

Constructor Detail

Mating_

protected Mating_(Nuclear parent1,
                  Nuclear parent2,
                  org.apache.commons.math.random.RandomGenerator random,
                  Genomic genomic)

Protected primary constructor for a new instance of Mating_.

Parameters:

parent1 - the father-to-be.

parent2 - the mother-to-be.

random - the random number generator to be used

genomic - the genomic of the resulting progeny

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

progeny

public Nuclear progeny()

Each of the parents in this Mating object produce a gamete. These gametes are then combined using the class method NuclearFactory.makeZygote(Genome, String) and the result becomes the genome for the progeny. The sex of the progeny is chosen randomly. Finally, the _Female's birth method is invoked to produce a new Organism_Sexual which is then returned.

Specified by:

progeny in interface Mating

Returns:

a new organism, formed by combining the genomes of the gametes spawned from the male and the female.
