A certain plant homozygous for yellow seeds and red flowers was crossed with a plant homozygous for green seeds and white flowers. The F1 plants had yellow seeds and pink flowers. The F1 plants were selfed to get F2 progeny. Assuming independent assortment of the two characters, how many phenotypic categories are expected for these characters in the F2 generation?

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The original phenotype is due to dominant allele and the recessive phenotype is due to modified allele.
Reason (R): The dominant allele produces functional enzyme and the modified alleles generally produce non-functional or no enzyme at all. 
 
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).
