A species of lizards migrates to a group of islands in the ocean. Over time, they diversified and evolved into several different species. Each species has a unique jaw shape that allows it to eat its own specific diet. This is an example of

gradualism because one species evolved into several different species over a relatively short amount of time
adaptive radiation because one species evolved into several different forms that occupy different niches
coevolution because the evolving lizard species changed in order to interact with the changing environment
convergent evolution because one species evolved into multiple species that live alongside each other

No, because its genes are still the same. To evolve would 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.
