Assertion (A): If BamHI cuts a 12 kb linear dsDNA fragment at two restriction sites which are at the same distance from the ends and each other, then only one band is obtained on agarose gel electrophoresis.
Reason (R): Three equal sized fragments will be obtained on restriction digestion by BamHI.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the following options.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
3. (A) is false but (R) is true
4. (A) is true but (R) is false
