## com.bea.netuix.laf.genes
Interface Chromosome

All Superinterfaces
  Serializable, ValueProvider

    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.

Nested Class Summary
`static class` | `Chromosome.Source` Enumeration of the possible sources for the chromosome.

Field Summary
`static String` | `DEFAULT_NAME` Name of the default chromosome.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `containsGene(String name)` Indicates whether the instance or default chromosome contains a gene with the specified name.
`Gene` | `getGene(String name)` Returns the specified gene if it exists in either the instance or default chromosomes.
`Set<String>` | `getGeneNames()` Returns a collection of all gene names, which is the union of gene names in instance and default chromosomes.
`String` | `getName()` Returns the chromosome name.
`Chromosome.Source` | `getSource()` Returns the chromosome source.
