Pete,
"(d) changes which seem to be the result of the transfer of a specific item of learned behavior."
I don't know of any study that demonstrates learned behavior is heritable. Learned behaviors have been shown to be transferred epigenetically (i.e. via environmentally-induced changes to transcriptional/translational regulation, not changes to alleles).
So the four groups you cite that describe "'transformations' or changes of animal cells" are not all about heritable changes.
Do you have other evidence?
