The '''theory of particulate inheritance''' is an idea that originated with [[Mendelian]] theorists (or bywith [[Gregor Mendel]] himself) stating 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>
