Question
The life cycle of a frog begins in a pond. Female frogs lay up to 4,000 eggs at one time. These eggs float on top of water. Out of each egg hatches a tadpole. While adult frogs spend most of their time on land, tadpoles live in water. Tadpoles do not have legs like adult frogs. Instead, they have long tails to help propel them through the water. They also have gills to help them breathe underwater.
Eventually they begin to develop the legs they will need to move on land as adult frogs. First they develop hind legs, then front legs. Their gills are soon covered and lungs begin to form. The tadpole is now a froglet and begins to transition to land. Froglets resemble adult frogs much more closely than the original tadpole.
Only a few changes are left to transform the froglet into an adult frog. The tail of the froglet becomes shorter and its body grows larger, completing the metamorphosis.
