The term given to the theory that states that an organism develops from the fertilized egg by a succession of developmental events that lead to an adult is "epigenesis". Preformation refers to the now-discredited idea that an organism is fully formed within the sperm cell or egg cell before fertilization. Transduction refers to the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another through a virus. Equational transformation and sequential pattern formation are not terms commonly used in developmental biology.
