The female frog lays eggs and may or may not stay with the eggs to take care of the young. The egg begins in a single cell and is surrounded by a jelly covering which protects it. The cell multiplies and forms an embryo. From that, organs and gills begin to form and the embryo lives off (survives on) the inner yolk and gets its supply of nutrients for 21 days. The embryo comes out and attaches itself to a weed in the water and becomes a tadpole. The tadpole has a long tail and lives in the water. It has external gills like a fish to absorb oxygen and feeds on algae.
The tadpole begins to change after five weeks. It starts to grow hind legs first and then forelegs. Lungs begin to develop then, thus preparing the frog for its life on land.
Eleven weeks after the egg is laid, a frog is fully formed with lungs and legs but no tail. It lives mostly on land with occasional swims in water. Eventually it finds a mate. This way the whole cycle of reproduction begins again.

The life cycle of a frog consists of three stages:
- egg,
- larva,
- and adult.
As the frog grows, it moves through these stages in a process known as metamorphosis.
