Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): For sequencing, the total DNA from a cell is isolated and converted into random fragments of relatively smaller sizes.
Reason (R): DNA is a very long polymer, and there are technical limitations in sequencing very long pieces of DNA.
 
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).
