Mutation genetic programming

Why do we age This question is often asked but the answers are not simple. Do our tissues deteriorate with age as a result of damage to proteins From an accumulation of mutations in our DNA From attacks by free radicals From loss of hormone receptors From misregulation of mitosis 487 From loss of telomeres on the ends of replicating DNA (Chapter 27, Section Q8) 488 489 From an internal genetic program that dictates our life span All of these possibilities may be partially correct. The simple answer is that "we just wear out." However, different parts wear out at different rates and in different ways. 

In view of the importance of choosing appropriate values for EA variables, it is common for these to be selected through a combination of past experience with similar problems and some testing of the dependence of the quality of solution reached with different population sizes, mutation rates and so on. Since the population size in different methods varies considerably (in a GA it is typically in the range 30-100, while genetic programming (GP) populations may... 

The algorithm G-REX uses crossover and mutation (see Figure 14.6), and the extraction strategy is based on genetic programming [106-109].

Evolutionary computation which is learned by watching population dynamics the most important programming are genetic algorithms which are inspired by the evolutionary processes of mutation, recombination, and natural selection in biology.
