Assertion(A): Dihybrid crosses are made based on an assumption that the two genes are following the law of independent assortment.
Reason(R): Four types of phenotypic combinations are possible in the gametes of each parent in such a cross.
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.
