Method Detail

doMeiosis

java.lang.String doMeiosis(Gene gene,
                           int index)

This method determines which allele will be chosen for a particular gene locus.

Parameters:

gene - the gene from which an allele will be chosen

index - a value which will be used to determine the allele to use (except if <0 then a random number is chosen).

Returns:

the key of the allele chosen.

doMeiosis

Genome doMeiosis(Genomic genomic,
                 Genes genes,
                 Chromosome chromosome)

This method determines which alleles will be chosen for a complete chromosome.

Parameters:

genomic - the genomic

genes - the genes to peform meiosis on

chromosome - may be null, in which case any gene will qualify

Returns:

a haploid genome with loci corresponding to the chromosome (if given)
