   cr
   # list of two new identical Chromosome objects (different id)
   newCollection(cr, 2)                
   ni <- Niche(chromosomes = newCollection(cr, 2))
   ni # same genes values, different objects
   generateRandom(ni)
   ni # different genes values
 
   # creation and random generation at the same time
   ni <- Niche(chromosomes = newRandomCollection(cr, 2))
