Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): If the sequence of bases in one strand of the dsDNA molecule is known then the sequence in other strand can be predicted.
Reason (R): The base pairing in a dsDNA molecule is complementary to each other.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. (A) is False but (R) is True.
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).

The methodology used in human genome sequencing that took the blind approach of simply sequencing the
whole set of genome that contained all the coding and non-coding sequence, and later assigning different
regions in the sequence with functions, is called as:
1. Expressed sequence tag
2. Sequence annotation
3. Chain termination
4. Physical mapping

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): The probability of variation [due to mutation] to be observed in non-coding DNA sequence would be higher than in coding DNA sequence.
