In [[genetic algorithm]]s, a '''chromosome''' (also sometimes called a '''genotype''') is a set of parameters which define a proposed solution to the problem that the genetic algorithm is trying to solve. The set of all solutions is known as the ''population''.<ref name=ga-description>{{cite web|title=Introduction to genetic algorithms: IV. Genetic Algorithm|url=http://www.obitko.com/tutorials/genetic-algorithms/ga-basic-description.php|accessdate=12 August 2015}}</ref> The chromosome is often represented as a binary [[string (computer science)|string]], although a wide variety of other [[data structure]]s are also used.
