Q. What basic concepts of evolution are used by the genetic algorithm?
ANSWER: The three concepts are selection, crossover and mutation. Selection is the feature of a genetic algorithm that provides preference to better outcomes. Mutation is a feature of a genetic algorithm; it's the process of trying combinations and computing the success (or failure) of the outcome. Crossover is the feature of a genetic algorithm where portions of good outcomes are taken in the hope of creating an even better outcome.
