Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | One antibiotic resistance gene of vector pBR322 helps in selecting the transformants and the other one in selecting recombinants. |
| Reason (R): | The non-recombinants can grow on both antibiotic-rich media while the recombinants grow only on single medium due to insertional inactivation. |
