  - crossover
```
Pair<G> crossover(G parent1,
                  G parent2)
```
    Performs a crossover for two Genotype parents. The resulting pair of Genotype offspring is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parent1 - The first parent genotype for the crossover
    
    parent2 - The second parents genotype for the crossover
    
    Returns:
    
    The resulting pair of offspring genotypes
