Consider the given two statements:
Assertion(A): Similarities in proteins and genes performing a given function among diverse organisms give clues to common ancestry.
Reason(R): In general, the more DNA differences in homologous genes (or amino acid differences in the proteins they encode) between two species, the more closely the species are related and they share a more recent ancestor.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
