<div class="block">This class primarily holds a collection of chromosomes. In addition,
it provides a few utility methods for manipulating and copying
chromosomes, useful for evolutionary strategies.
<br><br>
<code>copyChromosome()</code> is used to create copies of chromosomes,
though it is also possible to create a new instance of population
directly from a seed chromosome using the right constructor.
<br><br>
For convenience, a random chromosome can be retrieved using
<code>getRandomChromosome()</code>, which is guaranteed to use the
experiment's specified seed. If an entirely random population
is needed, <code>reinitialise()</code> should be used to randomise
all chromosomes without creating a new instance of <code>Population</code>.</div>
