Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
One 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.
Solution is here: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more of what that changes the reading frame of the base sequence?
Explanation: The science passage defines frame mutation and the main compoment here is nucleotides. Hence the generated question is apt.

Now, solve this: Passage: In prokaryotes, a combination of activators and repressors determines whether a gene is transcribed. As you know, prokaryotic organisms are fairly simple organisms with much less DNA. Prokaryotic genes are arranged in operons , a region of DNA with a promoter, an operator , and one or more genes that encode proteins needed to perform a certain task. To maintain homeostasis (and survive), the organism must quickly adapt changing environmental conditions. The regulation of transcription plays a key role in this process. Answer: homeostasis
Solution:
In order to survive and maintain what state, an organism must quickly adapt to changing environmental conditions?
