Lifecycle of a frog

Thetadpole that emerges from the egg contains gills, a tail, and a smallcircular mouth. They can swim freely in water. The tadpole grows andinvolves abrupt changes in its structure and develops into a maturefrog. A tadpole’s metamorphosis begins with the development oflimbs, lung development, and finally the absorption of the tail bythe body.
