Genetic Algorithms are inspired by the process of natural selection. What are the main components of a genetic algorithm? Chromosomes, selection, crossover, and mutation Linear equations and inequalities hortest paths and cycles Matrices and determinants Question 10 In the context of optimization, what is the purpose of *exploration* in heuristic methods? Finding the optimal solution directly. Searching for new solutions in unexplored regions. Evaluating the objective function multiple times. Exploiting already discovered solutions
