Sexual reproduction is the process in animals that requires meiosis to take place. It does not matter whether the animal is single celled or multi celled. Meiosis is the type of cell division in which four daughter cells are formed with half the number of chromosomes of the original orthe parent cell. The perfect example of meiosis is the formation of gamets and spores. Meiosis is the process that helps in the formation of male and female reproductive cells like the sperm and the eggs. Meiosis is totally different from mitosis.
