Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): The physical basis for segregation is the splitting of centromere during anaphase I of meiosis I.
Reason (R): At anaphase I, the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles.

When Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny, the F2 ratio deviated very significantly from the 9:3:3:1 ratio. This can be attributed to the fact that:

1. The genes are located on the X and Y chromosomes.
2. Fruit fly has abnormal chromosomes.
3. The genes are located on the X chromosome.
4. The genes exhibit incomplete dominance.

In a fruit fly, the eye colour trait is located on X-chromosome and the vestigial wing trait is located on an autosome. What is the possibility that a cross between a white-eyed male fruit fly with vestigial wings and a wild-type female who is heterozygous for both traits will result in a female offspring with vestigial wings and white eyes?

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion(A): Morgan found the use of Drosophila melanogaster as very convenient for his studies.
Reason(R): Morgan was studying mutations and Drosophila melanogaster is haploid and expresses all mutations.
