A snake could change and go look for its prey or someone will kill the snake and it would a prey it would take about hunderds of years

How long does it take for an aquatic frog tadpole to evolve into frog?
It depends on the species. The bigger the frog the longer it takes. A tiny tree frog could take a onth or two, and a huge bullfrog could take five months.
What factors could be important for a species to evolve by natural selection?
Environmental change and variation :)
How do geographic isolation contribute to evolution?
When two groups of the same species are cut off from each other, they evolve from mutations and natural selection independently. Each one could evolve into a different species. For instance, let's say two populations of a species of bunny exist, one in a desert and one in the artic. The one in the desert would likely evolve into a bunny which could keep cool and blend into rocks and sand, while the population in the artic would likely evolve into a species which could keep warm and blend into snow. The one species of bunny would then become two.
How have catastrophes contributed to the evolution of life on Earth?
it could allow a species to forcefully adapt to the new given climate and evolve into a different species
What do scientists believe happened to most ancient species?
Their environment changed and they could no longer survive.
What happens if a species no longer reproduces?
Extinction. When a species fails to adapt, it dies out.
One species evolve into two species?
A common speciation event is called allopactric speciation. This is the geographic separation of a single species into two populations. Naturally, one could expect statistically different genetic variation to arise in these two populations and the environments may be different also. In any event, these two populations, after time, would be headed down different evolutionary roads.
How could multicellularity evolve?
Multi-cellularity evolved from mutations. This is how everything evolved throughout history. Random mutations that prove to be advantageous, and allow a species to continue to reproduce.
How could extant species be descended from extinct species?
They can't. Once a species becomes extinct, it has reached the end of the line. It no longer exists, so therefore produces no more offspring. Thus, the theory that living species of today are descended from extinct species from long ago is untenable.
What will happen if there is no more snow leopards?
the snow leopard species will no longer excist and could effect the food chain for some animals
How long does it take for a species to form?
It takes a certain amount of time depending on the creature. You cannot tell how long or how short it can be. It could take a generation or a thousand generations. It all depends on the environment. The traits that species acquire are determined by what the environment selects. If the environment changes rapidly, then the species is going to evolve more quickly to fit the new environment, or in some cases, the environment changes too quickly for the species to evolve in which extinction can occur.
Why did Darwin say the finches on the Galapagos Islands were new species of finches?
They could no longer reproduce with the finches from South America. A+. Tony B.
