Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | The probability of variation [due to mutation] to be observed in non-coding DNA sequence would be higher than in coding DNA sequence. |
| Reason (R): | Mutations in non-coding DNA sequences may not have any immediate effect/impact in an individual’s reproductive ability. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| 2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

The methodology used in human genome sequencing that took the blind approach of simply sequencing the
whole set of genome that contained all the coding and non-coding sequence, and later assigning different
regions in the sequence with functions, is called as:
1. Expressed sequence tag
2. Sequence annotation
3. Chain termination
4. Physical mapping
