Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) 
Assertion (A): Polymerase chain reaction is used in DNA amplification.
Reason (R): The ampicillin resistant gene is used as a selectable marker to check transformation. 

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below: 
1. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct. 
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
