Question
Chapter 1.3, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How discovery-based science helped researchers to hypothesize that the CFTR gene encodes a transporter.
Introduction:
Discovery-based science is a method of collecting and analysis of data without having a hypothesis. The usefulness of this method is the data obtained from this method may lead to a new hypothesis. So, discovery-based science eventually leads to hypothesis testing.
