Solution

Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction and for increasing genetic diversity. If any of the cells in nature had not been divided by meiosis then all sexually reproducing animals would have no offspring. Only asexually reproducing animal could have survived on his Earth. This would lead to the extinction of the advanced diploid species.
