Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
| Assertion (A): | The growth of the multicellular organism is due to mitosis |
| Reason (R): | Mitosis is also called as equational division and it offers genetic stability |
In light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
