Eukaryotes, prokaryotes don’t have chromosomes like eukaryotes do nor do they have “sex” like eukaryotes, or a nucleus for that matter, so only eukaryotes have meiosis as a means of dividing chromosomes in preparation for a change in life cycle (think of fungi and ferns with diploid and then monoploid chromosomes) and sex.
