Using Darwin's theory, explain why a female frog produces hundreds of eggs each year during the mating season. Why is reproduction such an important aspect of evolution. The beginnings of the frogsī life is very hard, there are many predators and environment conditions that make the surviving ratio to low. In this situation only the species of frogs that can keep their population in a good number could survive over ages. Here we find a new key: over ages the environment change and these changes put on trial the survival capabilities of the frogs; only the frogs that can survive these tests will be able to reproduce a new generation. This new generation of frogs will inherit these capabilities. But, why frogs on the same species have different characteristics? Because the genetic variation: There are patterns of natural change in all species and these mutations occur slowly. Variation is essential as a requirement for evolution and therefore these differential characteristics should be inheritable. The great...
