Answer:

No, not all organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

As you may continue to learn in biology, not all organisms go through the process of mitosis/meiosis. Well known examples are prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea, ancient organisms that replicate via binary fission, budding, and/or fragmenting

Mitosis and Meiosis only occur in eukaryotes and unique to them.

thanks,
