The assertion and reason are both true and related to each other. Recombination refers to the process by which genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. The frequency of recombination between two genes is related to the distance between them on a chromosome. Genes that are located closer together on a chromosome are less likely to be separated by recombination, while genes that are located farther apart are more likely to be separated. Therefore, the reason correctly explains why the frequency of recombination is inversely proportional to the distance between genes on a chromosome.

Option a is the correct answer.
