  1. Are you asking about abiogenesis?  If so, I would say that they first produce something else (that could evolve into a frog).  Other than that, my answer is slowly.  And randomly.


  2. More information please?

    Are you talking 'bout evolution, about how if you get stream dirt and keep it wet, you get tadpoles?

    Evolution, is more complicated than what you are trying to suggest.

    As for the other thing, way easier to explain. There are eggs in the mud, they grow and 'hatch' turning into tadpoles, then into frogs.

    Does this help?

  3. Complex life doesn't spontaneously generate.  When tadpoles or small frogs are found in coal or holes in rocks, it is because they got there when small and got larger eating insects attracted to the hole.  I have seen examples of geodes that had a frog in it.  It must have had a small hole that allowed a tadpole or small frog in.  

  4. The answer is, they don't, not directly.  A frog comes only from another frog.  Punto.  In this case, female meets male, eggs are laid by female, usually in water, out come tadpoles.  Tadpoles grow in the water, eating the stuff that's in there (mostly stuff you can't see with the naked eye),  and at some point they grow legs.  They gradually absorb the tadpole tail and turn into frogs.  

    You can see this happening by capturing a tadpole - be sure to include some of the water it is living in - and keeping it at home till it turns into a frog. You'll have to feed it.  Look on line for instructions.  Search "how to raise tadpoles".  OOps, one article says it may be illegal in some places......  

    Very important:  When you let the frog go, please be sure to release it where you got the tadpole, not just any old place.

    Also, one more thing, whenever you handle a frog or tadpole be sure your hands are wet.  Their skin is damaged easily by getting too dry.

  5. Frogs lay eggs.

  6. From my answer when this was asked by another person a bout a year ago...

    The closest thing I have heard to this is that some frogs go dormant during the dry season. What they do is bury themselves in the little remaining mud as their pond dries up. Once buried they secrete a mucus that mixes with the mud and hardens like concrete sealing in the moisture to keep the frog alive. If you dig them up from the dry pond, they look like rocks. I'm not sure what species of frogs do this since I'm recalling this from my college bio class.
