Results are recorded in tables as they are obtained. It is advantageous to have the tables constructed ahead of time so that no data are forgotten. Data analysis in the form of statistics or graphs is also included in this section. All figures and tables are to be described in words , so that the tables and the text can exist independently. Avoid interpreting your data.
Interpretation is saved for the next section.
The discussion section is the place where the results are interpreted and discussed in the context of theory and related research presented in the introduction. Discuss both the validity of the results and their biological meaning. For example, are the results sound, statistically significant, based on well grounded assumptions, etc. It is appropriate for you to give your opinions and hypotheses to account for your results. Keep in mind that an experiment that did not give the expected results must still be thoroughly analyzed.
