Question

Over time, a tadpole changes into a frog. Has it evolved?

No, because its genes are still the same.
No, because its body did not change enough.
Yes, because its structural form changed over time.
Yes, because its genes have changed.

Answer 1

No, because its genes are still the same. To evolvewould mean that the frog had one set of genes as a tadpole, then a different set as an adult. It just doesn't work that way. The genes are the same.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be "No because its genes are still the same".

The process by which a tadpole changes into a frog is termed as metamorphosis, not evolution.

During this process, the physical transformation of an organism takes place through cell growth as well as cell differentiation.

No genetic transformation takes place and thus, no evolution takes place during this transformation.
