Knowing the age of the fossils is the most important factor for the scientists that study evolution.  

The age of the fossils is found out with the help of objective and radioactive dating. The fossils themselves generally cannot be dated directly, as the majority of them have no or less of the organic substance left in it, and dating with carbon 14 is only beneficial up to the age of 35000 to 50000 years.  

However, with the application of radiometric dating, the scientists are able to put an objective date. By determining the concentration of radioactive decay in specific elements since the solidification of the igneous rocks, one can find out the exact date of the fossil.  

The most generally used elements for radiometric dating of rocks are uranium, argon., potassium, and rubidium as they exhibit fairly long half lifes.

A very important fact to be considered about fossils by scientists is the Age of the Fossil. This is found by Carbon Dating. The reason why the age is of high importance is because it determines during what time the fossil lived and how it is evolution.

Answer:

There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but treatment can ease symptoms and reduce complications.

Explanation:

1). For those with cystic fibrosis who have certain gene mutations, doctors may recommend a newer medication called ivacaftor. This medication may improve lung function and weight, increases the activity of Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)protein and reduce the amount of salt in sweat. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with cystic fibrosis who are age 6 and older. The dose depends on your weight and age.

2). For people with a certain gene mutation who are age 12 and older, another drug is available that combines ivacaftor with a medication called lumacaftor. This drug is called orkambi.

The use of Orkambi may improve lung function and reduce the risk of exacerbations.
