First, parents are selected based on a weighted sample. Once two different parents are sampled, the kind of gametes they produce is defined. If the merging of gametes leads to a diploid or a tetraploid offspring, the life cycle continues; if not, two new reproducers are sampled. Once the kind of gametes produced has been determined, recombination and mutations (underlying the phenotypic trait and the trait coding for unreduced gamete production) are introduced. The reproduction phase ends when N = 200 new offspring have been generated.
