In any gregarious social animal, there is a hierarchy in the group largely centred around sexuality. I would venture to suggest that SOME subordinate animals of social species (eg. wolves, lions, meerkats, great apes) are to some degree asexual. They don't particularly contest the alpha animals because they don't particularly care if they get to mate or not.
However, asexual species can be either haploid or diploid. Sexually reproducing species have somatic cells (body cells), which are diploid [2n] having two sets of chromosomes (23 pairs in humans with one set of 23 chromosomes from each parent), one set from the mother and one from the father.
