No, meiosis does not occur in all growing organisms. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes (eggs and sperm). Organisms that reproduce asexually, such as bacteria and some plants, do not undergo meiosis.

Is crossing over unique to meiosis?
Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).
In which part of a plant would meiosis occur?
mitosis occurs in pollen sacs contained in the anther of the stamen and also in the ovule of the carpel. Edited answer: Mitosis takes place at all growing points (apical and intercalary) to increase the number of somatic cells.
What would happen if meiosis doesn't occur in sexual reproduction?
Meiosis is the most important biological process in all advanced plants and animals. If this process did not occur, the production of the sex cells would not occur. This is also referred to as a type of chromosome reduction division. Hence, that is how the sexual cells (gametes) have only half the number of chromosomes as the other body cells of that organism. So if meiosis didn't occur, sexual reproduction could not occur.

Does mitosis or meiosis occur in all body tissue's?
Mitosis does not in fact occur in all of the tissues of the body. Mitosis occurs in all tissues of the body that are not sex tissues.
What is two reasons for cell reproduction in multicellular organisms?
In single-cell organisms it is reproduction by the means of binary fission,where one cell becomes two separate cells. In multi-cellular organisms ( fungi,plants,animals ),it is all about growing

In hat structure does meiosis occur in bryophytes?
Meiosis occurs in the nucleus of a cell. This is true for bryophytes and all other animals since it is a conserved process.
Do all organisms begin as a single cell-?
Yes, all organisms begin as a single-celled zygote. Then they undergo meiosis and mitosis to replicate if they are multicellular or stay the same if they are single celled organisms.
Where does meiosis occur in segmented worms?
Remember that meiosis ONLY occurs in the sex organs (gonads). In segmented worms, meiosis occurs in the cocoon they excrete after intercourse with another hermaphroditic worm. However, ALL the other cells in the annelid undergo mitosis.
Meiosis is important because it allows a mixing of the gene pool or?
Meiosis insures the correct number of chromosomes. Without all 46 chromosomes, illnesses such as trisomy 13 and huntington's disease occur.
Which farming ca be done without water?
None, the process of growing organisms requires water. All organisms require water.

What parts of your body does meiosis occur?
it occurs in the gametes, the sex cells. where mitosis occurs in all other cells that have two halves of chromosomes, meiosis occurs in cells which only have one half of the chromosomes.
