Milestone: Q3 2025

Overview

Implement trait inheritance, mutation, and natural selection

User Stories

• As an educator, I want to demonstrate genetic evolution concepts
• As a student, I want to observe realistic genetic evolution behavior
• As a researcher, I want to model genetic evolution scenarios

• Task 4: Add mutation system with configurable mutation rate
• Task 5: Modify organism rendering to show genetic traits

Definition of Done

• All sub-tasks completed
• Unit tests written and passing
• Integration tests validate functionality
