What would happen if only mitosis occurred in the ovaries and testes instead of meiosis?

If only mitosis occurred in the ovaries and testes, the gametes would not be produced correctly. Mitosis produces identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis is required to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes (haploid) for sexual reproduction.
