a. Theory of epigenesis is proposed by Wolf. Epigenesis is, the thesis that every developing entity starts from unformed material, with form emerging gradually, over time, in the process of development.b. Theory of pangenes is given by Charles Darwin. In 1868 Charles Darwin proposed Pangenesis, a developmental theory of heredity. He suggested that all cells in an organism are capable of shedding minute particles he called gemmules, which are able to circulate throughout the body and finally congregate in the gonads.
