Teacher: Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following 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: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more of what that changes the reading frame of the base sequence?
Reason: The science passage defines frame mutation and the main compoment here is nucleotides. Hence the generated question is apt.

Now, solve this instance: Passage: The first monotremes may have evolved about 150 million years ago. Early monotreme fossils have been found in Australia. An example is a genus called Steropodon , shown in Figure below . It may have been the ancestor of the platypus. Early monotremes retained some of the traits of their therapsid ancestors. For example, they laid eggs and had a cloaca. These traits are still found in modern monotremes. Answer: platypus
Student:
The steropodon may have been an ancestor of which animal?
