Answer:
An organism would not be able to reproduce without meiosis.
Explanation:
Between meiosis and mitosis, meiosis is by far not as important. If you are a asexual organism, this would be NOT IMPORTANT whatsoever. If you are a sexual organism, this would LARGLY effect you. But on a world scale, this is NOT AS IMPORTANT.
This is because, without mitosis, you could not heal and would die much much younger since your cells could not be replaced. On the other hand, without meiosis, any organism that reproduces sexually would be unable to do so, which could lead to extinction in many, many species. This would not be harmful, however, to species that can also or mainly reporuduce asexually through budding, fragmenting, or sporing. So overall:
<u>Organisms that produce sexually would go extinct. </u>
This is the only real affect I can think of. Since meiosis does not produce any cells aside from reproductive cells. And asexual organisms produce reproductive cells through other means.
