Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
Example: Passage: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more nucleotides that changes the reading frame of the base sequence. Deletions remove nucleotides, and insertions add nucleotides. Consider the following sequence of bases in RNA:. Answer: nucleotides.
Example solution: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more of what that changes the reading frame of the base sequence?
Example explanation: The science passage defines frame mutation and the main compoment here is nucleotides. Hence the generated question is apt.

Problem: Passage: Most metalloids have some physical properties of metals and some physical properties of nonmetals. They fall between metals and nonmetals in their ability to conduct heat and electricity. They are shiny like metals but brittle like nonmetals. All exist as solids at room temperature. Answer: silicon

Solution: What is an example of a metaloid element?
