Do you have any ideas?

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it is reproduction which almost never involves ploidy or reduction. The offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent, except in the specific case of automixis.

With that information, what do you think the answer is, @batman200 ?

@jackofalltradez Everything with DNA involves ploidy.  Ploidy is referring to the number of copies of a chromosome an organism has.  I believe you meant asexual reproduction almost never involves reduction of ploidy number.
