no,but its a perfect example of evolution.1.the tadpole is like a fish, having gills and fins,it slowly grows legs and the gills fade away and turns into a frog.so a baby frog turning into an adult is like a fish evolveing into a amphibian over time a long time:)

What is the change an amphibian goes through as it develops from from a larval tadpole to adult?
As the amphibian goes from larval to tadpole stage it losses its gills and develops lungs to breathe air and also limbs are formed to walk better on land in case of frogs
What is it called when a storm goes over land?
When a storm kite land it is called landfall.
What major physical changes occur in the metamorphosis from the tadpole stage to the adult stage that enable the adult frog to survive on land?
At birth, a tadpole is essentially a head with eyes and a tail. Many internal changes must occur before a tadpole is ready to be a land dwelling frog. As a tadpole grows, she will develop bones. The tadpole must also grow some new internal organs, the most important of which are the lungs, and a fully grown heart.
Why can a tadpole live in water but not on land?
because it hasn't developed lungs yet
What is the name of when land detaches and goes downhill?
It is called landslide.
Does a tadpole go through metamorphosis?
yes, it goes from a tadpole in the water to a frog on land (all amphibians go through some type of change)
What are features of amphiba?
Was in water. And is now on land. Ex: a frog. A tadpole live in the water first. Then it grows and lives on land.
What is metamorphosis in the life cycle of a frog?
They start off in the embryotic stage as embryo inside of eggs. After a while, they hatch and are called tadpoles. Gradually they develop their front/back legs and lungs and can start walking on land. They look a little bit like a frog mixed with a tadpole, called tadpole frog. Finally, they turn into frogs.
Why tadpole cannot survive on land?
Tadpoles live in water, as they develop they grow legs and lungs which then allow the to live on land, as adult amphibians.
Where do tadpoles go to change into frogs?
over time from the day the tadpole is born it changes into a frog. when they are a tadpole they live in the water until they are a complete frog. then the adult frog lives on land from now on
Does a toad have lungs?
Yes, a toad has lungs. When it is a tadpole, it has gills. It develops lungs and hopps onto the land.
Are tadpoles vertibrates?
Yes a tadpole is a vertebrate, not an amphibian because it can't go onto land until it is an adult.
