Meiosis produces diverse haploid cells that combine during sexual reproduction, ideal for the theory of natural selection.

It ensures that reduction division occurs so that when the gametes (haploids) form a zygote (diploid) it ends up having the original 46 chromosomes.

Do mitosis happen in sexual reproduction?

Mitosis does occur in sexual reproduction, but it is not part of the process of sexual reproduction itself. Instead, mitosis is responsible for the growth and repair of cells in the organism. During sexual reproduction, gametes are produced through meiosis, a process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half to create genetically diverse offspring.

Meiosis is very important to multicellular organisms because multicellular organisms can't reproduce asexually?

Meiosis is important in multicellular organisms because it produces gametes that are haploid, which are needed for sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction introduces genetic diversity, which helps in the adaptation and evolution of multicellular organisms.
