Teleogenesis is a term used to describe the process of development or transformation of life forms over time. It is a concept usually associated with evolutionary theories and biological studies. Synonyms for teleogenesis include metamorphosis, evolution, progression, development, and transformation. These terms describe the changes that occur in living beings over time, whether through natural selection, genetic mutations, or environmental factors. Teleogenesis is a complex process that involves multiple stages and mechanisms, and different synonyms could be used to emphasize different aspects of the process. Nonetheless, all of these terms ultimately describe the same fundamental idea of change and transformation in living organisms.
