Do you think if you kept frogs in an isolated area filled with highly chlorinate

Over time, the resistant frogs would produce more resistant frogs, which would then proceed to have offspring with other more resistant frogs which would result in even more resistant frogs. Yes. You'd also need a diverse gene pool.

Raises some serious ethical questions, though.

Depends how it effects their functioning. It would weed out ones vulnerable to the substance, but if the benefits of being more resistant are marginal, you're just going to get a bunch of adequately resistant frogs.

God I wish I was in middle school as a student so I could do this experiment as my science project.

The experiment would likely take decades before any data would show tangibly higher resistance rates.

It'd be like those wolves in Chernobyl.

Resistant to radiation more so than most.

But still full of cancer.

Maybe something that reproduces and dies faster? Bacteria?

Definitely possible, but like eggsalad said, it would really depend on what type of evolutionary advantage the higher resistance to chlorine would provide.

No. You'd just kill all the frogs.

Maybe you could breed one resistant frog after killing several thousand frogs.

You'd probably just exterminate their population. Evolution is an incredibly long process, and takes much more than a few generations.

I've found frogs in a swimming pool. That's chlorinated, and there were no super frogs there.
