The blending theory viewed the traits of progeny as a mixture of the characteristics possessed by the two parental forms. Under this theory, progeny were believed to display characteristics that were approximately intermediate between those of the parents. Mendel reasoned that if the blending theory were true, he would see evidence of it in each trait. If no blending were seen in individual traits, the blending theory would be disproved.
