Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The frequency of homozygous tall plants is 75% if a monohybrid cross is made.
Reason (R): The frequency of dwarf plants is 25% in the same cross.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True, but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False, but (R) is True.
