| Assertion [A] The linked genes tend to get inherited together. |
| Reason [R] The link between them fails to break. |
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C) A is true, but R is false
D) A is false, but R is true
Correct Answer: A
