public interface Chromosome
extends Serializable, ValueProvider

Chromosome represents a collection of Genes. A chromosome object my represent either the default chromosome or an "instance" chromosome. The set of genes in an instance chromosome is considered to be the union of genes in both the instance and default chromosomes, and genes in the instance chromosome override genes from the default chromosome.

This interface is intended to be implemented only by Oracle Weblogic Portal. Oracle Systems reserves the right to add abstract methods to this interface without notice. Implementations of this interface by other parties must not be expected to compile without change in future versions of Oracle Weblogic Portal.
