Detailed Instructions: Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
See one example below:
Problem: 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?
Explanation: The science passage defines frame mutation and the main compoment here is nucleotides. Hence the generated question is apt.

Problem: Passage: Plant Life Spans The length of time from the beginning of development to the death of a plant is called its life span. The life cycle, on the other hand, is the sequence of stages a plant goes through from seed germination to seed production of the mature plant. Some plants, such as annuals, only need a few weeks to grow, produce seeds and die. Other plants, such as the bristlecone pine, live for thousands of years. Some bristlecone pines have a documented age of 4,500 years Figure 32.29. Even as some parts of a plant, such as regions containing meristematic tissuethe area of active plant growth consisting of undifferentiated cells capable of cell divisioncontinue to grow, some parts undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). The cork found on stems, and the water-conducting tissue of the xylem, for example, are composed of dead cells. Answer: life cycle
Solution:
Life span is distinct from what, which means the sequence of stages a plant goes through from seed germination to seed production of the mature plant?
