"Dear Supersport , This will be my one and only post to this message board . It is my research you are falsely using to support your arguments . Please do not reference my work in this way in the future . Your interpretation of the plastic responses of tadpoles to chemicals produced by predators is false . Much research ( not my own , look for research by Robert Denver ) has shown that chemicals in the water produced by predators when feeding on prey , or changing environments in general , activate pathways in the body which in turn lead to increased tail size and differentiation of color . It has nothing to do with the tadpoles `` desire `` to have a larger or redder tail , it is simply a physiological response . The tadpoles have not `` evolved `` during the course of their development , as you assert . An induced phenotype is not heritable , the ability to induce it is . The tadpoles with the red tails will not produce red tailed tadpoles when they are adults . Those with clear tails will not produce clear tailed tadpoles . They will both produce tadpoles that have the ability to make either phenotype . -Justin"
