yes, over time pieces of an animals life cycle can change and adapt to help them survive in different environments that doesn't happen overnight. In a frogs life cycle they develop into a frog from an egg. frogs have adapted to become what they are today and if I where to make a prediction it would be that frogs at one point lived solely in water based on the way they grow and develop in there life cycle. having a life cycle means there's room for improvement and tiny adjustments can be Made as a defense mechanism that develops over the course of many froggy life cycles.
