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.

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.

Does meiosis occur in sexual or asexual reproduction?

Meiosis isn't reproduction itself but takes place during sexual reproduction. The function of meiosis is to produce haploid gamete cells that way when fertilization occurs the result are two haploid gametes (half the number of chromosomes) coming together. It occurs only during spermatogenesis or oogenesis, mitosis produces normal somatic cells.
