(biol) This refers to cell which contains a single
CHROMOSOME
or set of chromosomes, each consisting of a single sequence of
GENEs.
An example is a
GAMETE.
cf
DIPLOID.
In
EC,
it is usual for
INDIVIDUALs
to be
HAPLOID.
SELECTION
acts on competing
INDIVIDUALs.
When only the best available individuals are retained for generating future progeny, this is termed
"hard selection." In contrast, "soft selection" offers a probabilistic mechanism for maitaining
individuals to be
PARENTs
of future progeny despite possessing relatively poorer objective values.
