The four daughter cells derived from a single meiosis differ from each other due to
The distance between two genes in a chromosome is measured in cross-over units which represent

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:
$A$ : Crossing over is exchange of genetic material between non-homologous chromosomes.
$R$ : It produces new linkages.
