'''Particulate inheritance''' is a pattern of inheritance discovered by [[Mendelian]] theorists (or by [[Gregor Mendel]] himself) showing that characteristics can be passed from generation to generation through "discrete particles" (which meant [[genes]]). These particles can keep their ability to be expressed while not always appearing in descending generation.<ref>[http://www.webref.org/anthropology/p/particulate_theory_of_inheritanc.htm "Particulate theory of inheritance"], WebRef</ref>
