Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): On one strand, the template with polarity 3' - 5', the DNA replication is discontinuous, while on the other, the template with polarity 5' -3', it is continuous.
Reason (R): The DNA-dependent DNA polymerases catalyse polymerisation only in one direction that is, 5' - 3'.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
