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 assortment does not hold good for the genes that are located closely on the same chromosome.

Reason $(R):$

Closely located genes assort independently.

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