Abstract--One of the challenges in data mining is the task of providing sufficient coverage of the search space in order to produce an acceptable model. Traditionally, Genetic Programs (GP) consider all chromosomes within a population for breeding purposes. Considering the enormity of the search space, it is imperative to focus the breeding efforts of Genetic Programs in order to attain a better solution in less time. This research examines the lineage of Genetic Programs in order to identify any breeding patterns. Five separate experiments had chromosomes grouped into five classes. Lineage patterns were assessed for the best, middle, and worst-class parental chromosomes. Based upon the results, researchers propose a new genetic programming process.
