Cortical nephrons differ from juxtamedullary nephrons in that:
1. Cortical nephrons are primarily involved in the filtration of blood.
2. Juxtamedullary nephrons have a longer loop of Henle that extends deep into the medulla.
3. Cortical nephrons are absent in mammals.
4. Juxtamedullary nephrons are not involved in the concentration of urine.

Consider the given two statements: 

Assertion (A): Juxtamedullary nephrons are crucial for the process of urine concentration. 
Reason (R): They have longer loops of Henle, which extend deep into the medulla, allowing more effective water reabsorption.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
