Answer:-
• Process of Developing Frogs
• Frogs lay eggs in water, and the eggs hatch into tadpoles that grow into frogs.
• Once hatched, tadpoles take about 14 weeks to transform into tiny frogs. Toad tadpoles take a little bit longer, becoming toadlets after about two months.
• They develop back legs first, then front legs, while the tadpole's tail shrinks and its body becomes less rounded. They also develop lungs and eardrums.
• All frogs reproduce sexually, and all hatch from eggs. In almost all frogs, egg fertilization happens outside the female's body instead of inside.
• The female releases her eggs and the male releases his sperm at the same time.
• In process of developing Frog
• A tadpole is the larval stage in the life cycle of an amphibian.
• Most tadpoles are fully aquatic, though some species of amphibians have tadpoles that are terrestrial.
• Tadpoles have some features that may not be found in adult amphibians such as a lateral line, gills, and tails.
• As they undergo metamorphosis, the diet of tadpoles changes and they will start to breathe air.
• Hence we understand that, Why larva of frog not same as adult frog !
