Assertion(A): Gene flow increases genetic variations.
Reason(R): Random introduction of new alleles into recipient population and their removal from donor population affect allele frequency.
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. Both (A) and (R) are false.
