/**
* Perform Uniform Crossover [UX] on the specified chromosomes. A fixed mixing
* ratio is used to combine genes from the first and second parents, e.g. using a
* ratio of 0.5 would result in approximately 50% of genes coming from each
* parent. This is typically a poor method of crossover, but empirical evidence
* suggests that it is more exploratory and results in a larger part of the
* problem space being searched.
*
* This crossover policy evaluates each gene of the parent chromosomes by chosing a
* uniform random number {@code p} in the range [0, 1]. If {@code p} < {@code ratio},
* the parent genes are swapped. This means with a ratio of 0.7, 30% of the genes from the
* first parent and 70% from the second parent will be selected for the first offspring (and
* vice versa for the second offspring).
*
* This policy works only on {@link AbstractListChromosome}, and therefore it
* is parameterized by T. Moreover, the chromosomes must have same lengths.
