blending

Blending inheritance is an obsolete theory in biology from the 19th century. The theory is that the progeny inherits any characteristic as the average of the parents' values of that characteristic. As an example of this, a crossing of a red flower variety with a white variety of the same species would yield pink-flowered offspring.
Charles Darwin's theory of inheritance by pangenesis, with contributions to egg or sperm from every part of the body, implied blending inheritance. His reliance on this mechanism led Fleeming Jenkin to attack Darwin's theory of natural selection on the grounds that blending inheritance would average out any novel beneficial characteristic before selection had time to act.
Blending inheritance was discarded with the general acceptance of particulate inheritance during the development of modern genetics after 1900.

    Blending unvented hot water

    Can you blend the water as it leaves the cylinder or does it have to be done at point of use? just thinking I could use a slightly smaller cylinder for a tight spot as the stored hot water would ‘last longer’ You don’t need 60degree water to wash your hands or the dishes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't using a tmv in this way wrong? The use of tmvs...
