Genetic continuity is maintained through asexual reproduction because

a.crossing over occurs during asexual reproduction.

b.multiple offspring are always produced all at once during asexual reproduction.

c.offspring are genetically identical to their parents.

d.offspring are genetically similar to, but not identical, to their parents.

Option. C.

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction can be defined as a type of reproduction, in which offspring are developed from a single parent and fusion of gametes does not take place.

As it involves only one parent that contributes to the all of the genetic material of offspring, the offspring are genetically or physically similar to their parents.

Thus, the correct answer is option) C.

      That is an oddly phrased question.  The scientific names we use now cam from the system of classification that spawned the way we still classify organisms today, started by Carolus Linnaeus. So the better question might be, how did classification impact scientific names?
      Of course, in all of the charges that go on in taxonomy, the answer o your question might be that, as the systems and ranks became more complicated, the additions had been made farther up the hierarchy, as to not affect the genus and species levels so much, as those levels are what we use for scientific names.
