Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): It is desirable to use restriction enzymes that make asymmetrical cuts in construction of rDNA molecules.
Reason (R): Formation of asymmetrical cuts facilitates the function of DNA ligase.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. Both (A) and (R) are False.
4. (A) is True, (R) is False.

'Restriction' in Restriction enzyme refers to:
1. Cleaving of phosphodiester bond in DNA by the enzyme
2. Cutting of DNA at specific position only
3. Prevention of the multiplication of bacteriophage by the host bacteria
4. All of the above
