Question
Assertion: When white eyed, yellow bodied Drosophila females were hybridized with red eyed, brown-bodied males; and F1 progeny was intercrossed, F2 ratio deviated from 9 : 3 : 3 : 1.
Reason: When two genes in a dihybrid are on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combinations is much higher than the non-parental type.
Options

Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
