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

Assertion (A): The beginning of diplotene is recognised by the dissolution of the synaptonemal complex and formation of X shaped structures called chiasmata 
Reason (R): In oocytes of some vertebrates, diplotene can last for months or years.


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

1. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
2. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
3. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
