Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): Mendel's law of Independent assortment does not hold good for the genes that are located closely on the same chromosome.
Reason (R): Closely located genes assort independently.

 
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. (A) is false, (R) is true.
2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A).
3. Both (A) and (R) are false and (R) does not correctly explain (A).
4. (A) is true, (R) is false.

Two genes R and Y are located very close on the chromosomal linkage map of the maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridized, then F2 segregation will show:

1. higher number of the recombinant types

2. segregation in the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio

3. segregation in a 3:1 ratio

4. higher number of the parental types
