Genetic algorithms are a particular class of evolutionary algorithms that use

techniques inspired by evolutionary biology such as inheritance, mutation,

selection, and crossover (also called recombination).
a) Optimization is a process that finds a best, or optimal, solution for a

problem. Explain in your own words the three factors that are centered

on optimization problems in genetic algorithms and illustrate your

answers with appropriate examples.
