The blending of genetic traits with sexual reproduction would have falsified evolutionary theory.
When Darwin first started his work on evolutionary theory, he was afraid that rather than being atomary, genetic traits would blend over time. This would make it impossible for a specific trait to remain unchanged for any length of time, and therefore impossible for natural selection to favour it in any significant way.
Fortunately, Mendel's contemporary work showed that genetic traits *are* atomary, and do not blend with reproduction. Unfortunately for Darwin, he went to his grave without ever learning about this. His evolutionary theory was only modified to include Mendel's work more than half a century after his death.
What else can I help you with?
What type of evolution with small scale changes in genes is called?
Some would call that microevolution. I would not. Some divide evolution into micro and macro. Evolutionary biologists prefer to use the terms evolution and speciation.
What is the type of inheritance that would suggest the concept of blending?
Blending inheritance suggests a type of inheritance where the traits of the parents are mixed together in the offspring, resulting in an intermediate phenotype. This concept contrasts with the idea of particulate or Mendelian inheritance, where discrete units (alleles) are passed from parents to offspring without blending.
Under what circumstances would evolution not occur if?
Evolution would not occur if there is no genetic variation within a population, no selection pressure, or if there is no reproduction and passing on of genes to the next generation.
Show you a paper on the theory of evolution?
I can provide a summary or explanation of the theory of evolution. Is there a specific aspect of the theory you would like me to cover?
Which discovery could provide evidence against the theory of evolution?
A discovery that shows species appearing suddenly in the fossil record without any preceding ancestors would provide evidence against the theory of evolution. This would contradict the gradual changes in species predicted by evolution.

Blenders Believed in the blending of two theories?
This doesn't provide enough context to give a specific answer. If you're referring to blending theories, it could be related to cognitive psychology's theory of blending concepts or educational theory's approach to blending traditional and digital learning methods. Additional context would help provide a more accurate response.
What results of cultural blending?
Cultural blending results in the creation of new traditions, practices, and ideas that reflect the fusion of different cultures. This can enhance creativity in art, music, and cuisine, leading to unique expressions that resonate with diverse communities. Additionally, it fosters greater understanding and tolerance among people, as individuals learn to appreciate and celebrate differences while finding common ground. Ultimately, cultural blending enriches societies and contributes to their dynamism and evolution.
