Saltatory conduction is the term describes the hopping of the action potential nerve impulse along the axon from one node of Ranvier to the next.

Saltatory conduction describes the way an electrical impulse skips from node to node down the full length of an axon, speeding the arrival of the impulse at the nerve terminal in comparison with the slower continuous progression of depolarization spreading down an unmyelinated axon.

The nodes of Ranvier are characterized by short (1um), specialized regions in the axonal membrane that are not insulated by myelin. Although it is bare of myelin at the node, the axon is in direct contact with the microvilli of the Schwann cells in the PNS.

The correct answer is- make a prediction

Explanation:

A hypothesis can be defined as an explanation of any observation which can be confirmed by experiments and prediction is the guess about the future result of any observation.  

As here a biologist hypothesized that the sound produced by frog is mating calls than the next step of the biologist would be to make a prediction about response of that mating call by female frogs. This is called hypothesis prediction method.

Therefore the right answer is- biologist will make a prediction.
