Give below are two statements: 
Statement I: Restriction endonucleases recognise specific sequence to cut DNA known as palindromic nucleotide sequence. 
Statement II: Restriction endonucleases cut the DNA strand a little away from the centre of the Palindromic site.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

Given below are two statements one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): When a particular restriction enzyme cuts strands of DNA, overhanging stretches or sticky ends are formed.
Reason (R): Some restriction enzymes cut the strand of DNA a little away from the centre of palindromic site.
 
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) does not correctly explain (A).
