Q
3 Main Research Methods
A
- Descriptive - studying the structure and functions of living organisms.
->Known since ancient times
->Used in modern bio - by special research equipment e.g. electron microscopes/ confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) - Comparative - basics of systematics of organisms
- Experimental - in labs. Important for diagnoses of diseases.
->Integrated approach in medical research
