The assertion and the reason are both incorrect. Morgan's experiments with fruit flies provided important evidence for the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance, but they did not demonstrate that genes are made of DNA. However, the reason is correct because Morgan did observe that mutations in fruit flies were heritable and could be linked to specific regions on chromosomes.

Option 4 is the correct answer.
