Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): The discovery of restriction enzymes led to the birth of recombinant DNA technology as a discipline.
Reason (R): Restriction enzymes help in the precise cleavage of DNA at specific recognition sites, facilitating the insertion of foreign genes into plasmids.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation for (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A).
