... separate fields of science (e.g., Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics), collectively they're doing just two types or broad categories of research - basic and applied. Basic research expands the knowledge base in a field of science. It may become the basis for a major theory or entire industry (e.g., DNA/genetic engineering), or it may simply occupy disc or library space until the end of time ... I know of, and that process - mutation - is entirely random. The phenotype that results from mutation is not random, but it's not easy to predict precisely (it can be estimated with computer ...
