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: In 1869, a Russian scientist named Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic table , which is a way of organizing elements according to their unique characteristics, like atomic number, density, boiling point, and other values ( Figure below ). Each element is represented by a one or two letter symbol. For example, H stands for hydrogen, and Au stands for gold. The vertical columns in the periodic table are known as groups, and elements in groups tend to have very similar properties. The table is also divided into rows, known as periods. Answer: dmitri mendeleev
Solution: Who created the periodic table?
