Blending
From EvoWiki
Blending was one of the leading hypotheses of inheritance before Gregor Mendel discovered the particulate gene theory of inheritance in the late 19th century. The Blending hypothesis posited that an individual's phenotype is the result of a blending of the phenotypes of its parents, a process which if true would reduce the variation in a population, a fact that caused Charles Darwin and many other pre-Mendel biologists to doubt the validity of the hypothesis.
