Answer: The idea that the earth is extremely ancient.

Explanation:

Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who worked on the organic evolution of living organisms and in his books outlined how present-day organisms evolved from earlier, different species.

Evolution is an extremely slow process. It is difficult to obtain direct evidence of evolution in action. However, scientist including Charles Darwin, have from many fields gathered a great deal of indirect evidence that supports the theory of evolution. This evidence comes from many sources which include the FOSSIL RECORDS.

The history of life on earth is recorded in fossils (remains of organisms preserved mainly in earth's sedimentary rocks). Scientist can determine the age of rocks in which fossils occurs by using RELATIVE DATING. This method give a geological time scale, showing earth's age ( as measured by dating it's rocks), and tracing the history of life on it.

Therefore the idea that the earth is extremely ancient is associated with relative dating which has helped inspire Charles Darwin's work as an evidence on evolution.

What is the end result of cytokinesis from a cell undergoing mitosis?
IRINA_888 [86]

The end result of cytokinesis indicates the two cells with identical copies of DNA arise from a single parental cell.

<h3>What is Cytokinesis?</h3>

Cytokinesis may be defined as the process of separation of the cytoplasm at the end of mitosis.

Cytokinesis is the phase of mitosis which involves the overall division of cytoplasm and the construction of two copies of cells with identical DNA content.

It occurs after the process of karyokinesis, which results in the formation of two daughter cells from a single parental cell.

Therefore, it is well described above.

In some cases, inflammation of cranial nerves accompanies acute labyrinthitis. Which cranial nerve is most likely to be affected
Roman55 [17]
The cranial nerve most likely to be affected hat is evidenced by acute labyrinthitis is the EIGHTH Cranial Nerve named Vestibulocochlear.

Vestibulocochlear nerve dysfunction can cause hearing loss, vertigo, or tinnitus. The dysfunction is a result of the damage in either the cochlear or vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve. Damage is  between the inner ear and its entry into the brainstem at the pontomedullary junction.

Vestibular neuritis is also identified as labyrinthitis, vestibular neuronitis, and acute peripheral vestibulopathy.

What evidence for the age of the Earth is indicated by the fact that sedimentary rock is found on mountain tops?
ruslelena [56]
Undisturbed rock formations on mountain tops are basically an indication of the Earth's age. This can be supported by the law of proposition. This law states that the youngest sediments or rock are found at the top of the sequence and the oldest are found at the bottom - given they're undisturbed. So the higher mountain tops or rocks formation are, the more we can say that the Earth is indeed very old.
