Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A):  Mendel self-pollinated the F2 plants and found that dwarf F2
plants continued to generate dwarf plants in F3 and F4 generations.
 
Reason (R):  The genotype of the dwarfs was homozygous.
 
1.  Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
2.  Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains Assertion.
3.  Both (A) and (R) are False.
4.  (A) is True but (R) is False.
