Kleptogenic reproduction results in three potential outcomes. A unisexual female may simply activate cell division in the egg through the presence of a male's sperm without incorporating any of his genetic material—this results in the production of [[Cloning|clonal]] offspring. The female may also incorporate the male's sperm into her egg, but can do so without excising any of her genetic material. This results in increased [[ploidy]] levels that range from [[triploid]] to [[pentaploid]] in wild individuals. Finally, the female also has the option of replacing some of her genetic material with that of the male's, resulting in a "hybrid" of sorts without increasing ploidy.<ref name="r5">{{citation| pages = 117–136| journal = Cytogenetic and Genome Research |volume = 140| number= 04|title = Genetic and genomic interactions of animals with different ploidy levels | first = J| last = Bogart| issn=1800-427X| date = 2013| doi=10.1159/000351593| pmid = 23751376 }}</ref>
