This type of research has no immediate or planned applications, may later result in further research of an applied nature. Characteristics of basic research are: It is conducted in a specific area for example in the laboratory. It takes a long time to conduct as it involves the investigation of a particular problem.   It uses animals as study samples   It is done for the aim of gener...
