The process of passing genetic material from one generation to the next depends completely on how cells grow and divide. To reproduce, a simple organism such as bacteria or yeast simply copies its DNA (through a process called replication) and splits in two. But organisms that reproduce sexually go through a complicated dance that includes mixing and matching strands of DNA (a process called recombination) and then reducing the amount of DNA in special sex cells to arrive at completely new genetic combinations for their offspring.
There are two basic kinds of organisms — ones with a nucleus and those without a nucleus (a compartment filled with DNA surrounded by a membrane called a nuclear envelope):
<span>Prokaryotes: Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and therefore have DNA floating loosely in the liquid center of the cell. Prokaryotes divide, and thus reproduce, by simple mitosis.</span><span>Eukaryotes: Organisms that have a well-defined nucleus to house and protect the DNA. Eukaryotes divide by meiosis for sexual reproduction.</span>

Answer:
When it stands the test of time and is supported by many experiments.
Carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the defined as the largest population that it can sustain indefinitely with the available resources. Biologists also refer to carrying capacity as the “maximum load”. Carrying capacity has factors it depends on. These are the many abiotic and biotic factors in the ecosystem and some are more obvious than others. The most obvious being, the availability of the basic needs of organisms which make up the different ecosystems. Some of these are food, water and shelter in which dictate how many individuals the ecosystem can sustain.
