The answer is it occurs in sex organs.

Explanation: Meiosis only occurs in reproductive cells, as the goal is to create haploid gametes that will be used in fertilization. Meiosis is important to, but not the same as, sexual reproduction. Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction to occur, as it results in the formation of gametes (sperm and eggs).

Meiosis results in 4 identical haploid cells
Hope this helps:)
