Given below are two statements one is labelled as: Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): Mendel's law of independent assortments does not hold good for the genes that are located closely on the same chromosome.

Reason (R): Closely located genes assort independently.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
