Template:WikiProject GeneticsPerhaps we should insert a reference to Mendel's experiments? Khorikoshi

I oppose a merging; they are two totally separate concepts, and blending is of great historical importance in terms of Darwin's ideas of natural selection. 92.238.105.105 (talk) 17:51, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the term "soft inheritance" is widely known or used; I was not familiar with it, at least. I prefer to maintain a separate article for blending, as the term is common in textbooks, and is notable as the model disproven by Mendel's work. Therefore I oppose the merge. The soft inheritance article could certainly have a list of "see alsos" or just short sections referring to the main articles at "acquired characteristics" and "blending" and so on.
